AVIS(Abandoned Vehicle In Southport) now has removal notice on windscreen

Posted on:

Following on from yesterdays item regarding the abandoned Ford van that is in the disabled parking bay outside Sainsbury's on St Georges Place Sefton Council have issued an order for it to be removed.

The owner has seven days to remove the vehicle.


An abandoned vehicle is one which has not been moved or attended to for a long time. There may be visible damage to suggest a crash or signs the vehicle has been stolen, such as:

  • significant damage
  • it's run-down or unroadworthy, including being rusted
  • missing or suspicious number plates
  • broken windows, flat tyres
  • has a lot of rubbish inside it
  • broken or loose ignition
  • broken steering column

Abandoned vehicles can cause a nuisance by obstructing roads, traffic and pedestrians. The sight of a damaged or slowly rusting car can also be an eyesore in your community, so it’s understandable you might want it to be removed.
