Abandoned vehicles
What is an abandoned vehicle?
Any vehicle that appears not to be in regular use and is not displaying a valid road tax disc will be regarded as abandoned unless it is being kept on private land with the landowners or occupiers permission.
How do I report an abandoned vehicle?
You can report an abandoned vehicle using our street pride enquiry online form.
You can also call the contact centre by telephone on 01922 653344 or via email streetpride@walsall.gov.uk
Have the following information available (or as much as possible):
- Exact location of vehicle
- Make and model of vehicle
- Colour
- Registration number
- Whether taxed or not
- Condition of vehicle
What happens next?
An enforcement officer will visit the location within one working day of notification. If the vehicle is of low value, a 24 hour notice will be attached to the vehicle,if unclaimed the vehicle will be removed.
If the vehicle is on private land, a 15 day notice will be served on the owner or occupier of the land.
If the vehicle is of value, and therefore should not be destroyed, the vehicle may be taken into storage and a seven day notice served on the registered keeper. No notices will be put on the vehicle.
