Noticed a car that’s been left for days or weeks without moving? It could be abandoned.
To report an abandoned vehicle, gather details such as the registration number and model, as well as its condition. Make sure you can locate exactly where the vehicle is situated by noting the street name, nearest landmark, or house number.
Submit details directly through North Northamptonshire Council's abandoned vehicle form, which can be found here: https://www.northnorthants.gov.uk/environment/abandoned-vehicles.
Alternatively, you can email ELVIS (End of Life Vehicle Impound Scheme) at [email protected], or ring them on 08456 121 999.
If the car is dangerously parked, blocking a live road, or has been set on fire, report it immediately to Northamptonshire Police via 101 or 999 in an emergency. If a vehicle is simply untaxed but otherwise in good condition, report it directly to the DVLA online here: https://www.gov.uk/report-untaxed-vehicle.
