Abandoned Vehicles

Abadoned car Since June 2006 Clackmannanshire Community Wardens have reported and had 42 vehicles removed from the county.

Abandoned vehicles pose several problems in communities:

They are a danger to everyone (particularly young children);
There is a risk of serious injury from explosion or fire;
They become a beacon for crime and anti-social behaviour (vandalism, graffiti and fly-tipping);
They can cause damage to the environment from leaks of fluids and fuels into the surrounding area;
They lower the quality of life in our neighbourhoods;
They can take up valuable parking spaces, particularly in residential areas.

A vehicle can be deemed to be abandoned when it fulfils some or all of the following criteria:

It is no longer in a road worthy condition;
It is in such a place as to cause aggravation or danger to others;
It has no valid tax disc, is being kept on a road whilst registered with a SORN (Statutory Off Road Notification) declaration. However, a vehicle may be deemed to be abandoned even with a valid tax disc or SORN;
The vehicle or its contents are having negative impact on the local environment and the visual amenity of a community;
It is in such a place and condition that it attracts the unwanted attention of vandals and anti-social behaviour;
There is evidence that the vehicle has not been moved for a considerable amount of time;
The owner or keeper cannot be identified, or fails to respond to a legal notice.
