    true , but why did they not attempt to contact the customer much earlier? , why the delay between jan 2015 and now?
    apart from a bit of nice free publicity

    Because they are not obliged to contact the owner at all unless they want to remove the vehicle, which they have now decided to do.

    Some antisocial ****tard has abandoned a rotting car in a public car park, why are you so determined to make it the council's fault instead of the owners?

    This man's car was parked at the (council) Riverside car park in Chelmsford for several months after he was remanded in custody after being repeatedly late for court.

    I imagine the council owns the car park, NCP often runs car parks for councils, they do some locally to me. In any case, councils can remove abandoned vehicles from private property at the landowner's request, but they might charge for it.
    Couldn't say specifically but it's been NCP since Noah landed his Ark.
