Thank you for your report.
Unfortunately, customer services are unable to log this as an abandoned vehicle because: It is taxed till January 2025
Peterborough City Council do not deal with No Insurance or No MOT either. This is a police matter for no insurance and DVLA for no MOT matter that you can report to the police on 101 or on the links below. To report an Untaxed Vehicle - https://www.gov.uk/ report-untaxed-vehicle To report a Car with No Mot or No Insurance - https://www.gov.uk/ report-no-mot To report Illegal parking (double yellow) - parking.enforcement@peterborough.gov.uk
If there is an obstruction of the road or pavement or blocking drive this is the responsibility of the police to investigate and enforce. They can be contacted on 101. People often confuse a genuinely abandoned vehicle that PCC enforcement team have the powers to tackle and remove, with a nuisance and/or untaxed vehicle we can't do anything about.
The council will not remove a vehicle that is taxed and in good condition unless there is strong evidence that the vehicle has been there for a long period of time. One flat tyre unfortunately is not considered as strong evidence. In making this decision the Investigating Officer will consider a range of factors such as the age and condition of the vehicle, whether it is in tax, and anything that indicates that the vehicle is not in regular use. The council will only remove a vehicle if the investigating Officer is satisfied that the vehicle is abandoned in accordance with set criteria. https://www.peterborough.gov.uk/ residents/ saferpeterborough/ abandoned-vehicles

State changed to: No further action
