Unfortunately, customer services are unable to log this as an abandoned vehicle because the vehicle is currently taxed till: 01/05/2025
Peterborough City Council do not deal with No Insurance or No MOT either. This is a Police matter, and you would need to contact them on 101.
To report Untaxed Vehicles / No Mot / Driving or Insurance offence, please visit https://www.gov.uk/ report-untaxed-vehicle
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 only remove a vehicle if the investigating Officer is satisfied that the vehicle is abandoned in accordance with set criteria, 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.
