I want to report an abandoned vehicle
Any person can park their vehicle on a public road provided that the vehicle is taxed and insured and is not in contravention of any parking restriction or other laws. In circumstances where a vehicle is legally parked outside your property or is preventing you from parking where you would like to park the police cannot take any action.
Where a vehicle has been abandoned and isn't causing an obstruction to the highway, abandoned vehicles should be reported to your local borough council:
- Blackburn with Darwen Unitary Authority
- Blackpool Unitary Authority
- Burnley Borough Council
- Chorley Borough Council
- Fylde Borough Council
- Hyndburn Borough Council
- Lancaster City Council
- Pendle Borough Council
- Preston City Council
- Ribble Valley Borough Council
- Rossendale Borough Council
- South Ribble Borough Council
- West Lancashire District Council
- Wyre Borough Council
However, if the vehicle has been left in suspicious or dangerous circumstances please contact us online or by telephone on 101.
