Vehicle nuisance

Anti-social behaviour? No

If you have noticed a vehicle that you believe to be abandoned, start by speaking to your neighbours to see if they know who owns the car.

If you have made enquiries and no-one knows, make a note of the registration number and make of the car.

If the vehicle is in one of our car parks, please complete our Contact form or email us and attach a photo if it is possible. Once we receive your report, we will make contact with the DVLA to see if there is a registered keeper. If there is, we will make contact with them.

If not, we will make arrangements to get the vehicle removed. This process can take up to 10 weeks.

If the vehicle is on a public road, please contact the local authority.

If you believe the vehicle is stolen, please contact the Police on 101 who will attend and recover the vehicle if it is stolen.

Anti-social behaviour? No

If your neighbour is parking in a manner which obstructs your ability to enter or leave your home or allocated parking space, start by speaking to them first, they may not be aware their actions are causing you a problem.

If the problem continues then you can take the following action:

• If it is on a public verge or highway and the vehicle is found to be parked contravening local parking regulations contact your Local Authority who may be able to assist by issuing a Penalty Charge Notice.
• If it is parked in such a manner where it needs to be removed immediately, please contact the Police who will arrange this if deemed necessary. 
• If it is on land owned by Plus Dane, you can report this on our website using the Contact form and we will make contact with your neighbour. It may be that your neighbour/their visitors are not aware of the local parking arrangements.
  

Anti-social behaviour? Yes

Some people may think that this is harmless fun however regular antisocial vehicle use can have a wider impact on neighbourhoods than simply nuisance noise and may include:

• Street racing
• Riding un-licenced power vehicles
• Misusing vehicles off road
• Performing stunts and tricks

Drivers and riders risk injuring themselves and other road users, cyclists and pedestrians.  Driving or riding in this way is also a form of intimidation, either to the road user or the community.

If you know the people involved and you feel safe to do so, talk to them - they may not know they are causing a nuisance.

You can report the incident to the police. If you do this, let us know - by phone or via our online ASB reporting form - so we can work with them and agree the next steps.
