Abandoned vehicles
If you suspect that a vehicle has been abandoned on a public road or public open space we will remove it.
If you abandon a vehicle you may be fined up to £2,500, spend three months in prison or both.
An abandoned vehicle generally has the following characteristics:
- Appears to have been left unused on the public highway or open land for a considerable length of time
- Does not have road tax that is in date
- Usually in a poor state of repair and often burnt out, with windows smashed, wheels missing etc
How can I report an abandoned vehicle?
You can report an abandoned vehicle by contacting the council in one of three ways:
- Online using the abandoned vehicles reporting form
- Email abandoned.cars@plymouth.gov.uk
- Call 01752 304147
How can I dispose of a vehicle?
