Abandoned vehicles

There are a growing number of vehicles simply being abandoned within the city. As well as being an eyesore they can also become a danger to the public.

What is an abandoned vehicle?


A vehicle is considered to be abandoned if it meets the following criteria:

  • the vehicle structure/glass has been damaged by vandalism as opposed to damage caused by a road traffic accident or
  • the vehicle has unsecured doors, boot open etc. and does not display a valid Road Fund Licence (tax disc) or
  • the vehicle has been partially or fully burnt out
