The best advice we have got is that we can remove it and then pay for storage. The only place it can be stored in is either someone's garage (which no-one will allow) or pay at a storage centre which is a minimum of £150 a month. It just seems absurd. He is sure to ignore the car anyway as it is worth nothing but even when they are worth nothing, if he thinks there is any money in it, he will want compensation.

That's 'removal max', are you saying there is nowhere close by on the estate that the vehicle can be relocated to where it won't be causing an inconvenience?

Boys fighting over me already!!!!Thank you, and I know you all mean well and am appreciative of all of your help.


The car is a nuisance and it has been raised several times at residents meetings and we just want it gone. There is a pensioner selling her flat that is on the development and she is disappointed as she nearly sold it and the buyers saw the car, it was clear that the car has been there for some time as it has rust on it and the buyers told Beryl that Beryl was obligated to inform sellers of anti-social behaviour.

I meant to say as well, there is nowhere else on site to move the vehicle to. it can only be moved to another space or somewhere that will cause an obstruction.


We really all just want it gone.

Slip someone £20 to drag it out into the road one night with a trolley jack.
Can't see a way it will be removed until it's on the road, and this has to be quickest and cheapest option.
Maybe a few who want it gone could chip in a fiver each.

Put a wheel temporarily onto it and move it out into the road, then remove the wheel. It will then only be a matter of time before someone reports it.

I understand the advice that is coming but it most of this advice is illegal or borders on it. Since the new act a few years ago, when towing and such became illegal, this seems to be one of the things that was not really dealt with from the posts I have read.


This seems to be an increasing problem. Where councils take no notice at all of an abandoned vehicle, is there please one of those template letters that are done that we can print off and send to councils that remind them that they do have a duty to get involved with such cars? If there isn't one that maybe someone on here could do one?

Or maybe you could do it seeing as it's you with the problem? Might even help others in a similar situation!

If I could have done that tykesi, I would have done.

OP, why would your visitors have to pay to park on the road if its private land?
