Abandoned Transit Van - No MOT
Sent to Peterborough City Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 8323002.
This transit van has been sitting in this spot for about a month now, it has been abandoned and has ran out of MOT. This type of vehicle should not be left here, it is an eye sore and parked in an awkward space for us local residents. I don’t believe they live down Westwater crescent as I saw the person who was driving it get out and walk on to west lake Avenue, so they don’t even live down this road. Please can this be removed.

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.
