This Audi A1 was dumped here three months ago and has not moved. It is taking up two spaces in an area with real parking pressures for the residents. Each time we report it, you mark it CLOSED and do nothing. It needs removing. The plates are likely cloned like the red car a little way down the street, Please deal urgently!

Updates

  • Thank you for reporting an abandoned vehicle.

    We will investigate to decide if the vehicle has been abandoned.

    If it is abandoned, we will give notice to the owner before we remove it. The length of notice depends on the circumstances, and is normally:

    • 7 days for vehicles on the public highway that are not dangerous - this applies to most abandoned vehicles

    • 24 hours if we decide the vehicle is dangerous

    • 15 days if the vehicle is on private land unless the landowner or occupier objects

    Did you know…?
    We investigate on average over 1500 reports of abandoned vehicles per year in Merton.
