These powers remain limited in their extent; however, we all have a responsibility to ensure that we protect our environment.

You can help the Council tackle this problem in a number of ways:

If you have a vehicle that has reached the end of its useful life

If you have a vehicle that has reached the end of its useful life, the Council will dispose of it free of charge.

In the first month of operation we removed 12 vehicles under the free collection service but we want to remove more!

For further information on this scheme, please see "Free Scrap Vehicle Collection Service".

If you see a vehicle that you think may be abandoned

If you see a vehicle that you think may be abandoned (and not merely untaxed or unregistered) you should contact 01623 450000 to report the vehicle, ensuring that you provide us with as many of the following details as you can:

• The exact location of the vehicle
• Make
• Model
• Colour
• Registration Number

Alternatively, you can report the same details by sending an e-mail to vehicles@ashfield-dc.gov.uk.
