2020-2021 - 114
2021-2022 - 85
2022-2023 - 107
These are the number of CCR’s (RFIs) we have received re abandoned vehicles, however not all were determined to be abandoned vehicles as per legislation definition. Unfortunately, we are unable to differentiate between those confirmed to be abandoned and those that had broken down and later retrieved by the owners.

N/A No initiatives or policies are currently considered.
3 Has the monitoring team issued any nuisance notices or investigated abandoned vehicles on private land in the last year?
