Report an Abandoned Vehicle
If you believe a vehicle has been abandoned in our Parish, it should be reported directly to Arun District Council.
Abandoned vehicles can cause safety concerns and environmental issues, so it’s important they are reported through the correct channel.
You’ll need to provide some key details, including:
- The vehicle’s registration number (number plate), if present
- The exact location of the vehicle
- The type, make, model, and colour (if known)
- How long it has been there
- Whether it appears damaged, vandalised, or in poor condition
You’ll also be asked whether the vehicle is on a public road and whether you know who owns it.
Please note this service is for abandoned vehicles only. Parking issues (such as inconsiderate parking or obstruction) should be reported separately via Arun District Council’s parking enforcement service.
Providing as much detail as possible helps officers investigate more quickly.
