Community protection officers seize abandoned car with no tax at Sutton

The Ashfield District Council officers responded following a complaint over the car on Priestic Road.

They confirmed that the vehicle's tax had expired in August, 2021, and it was taken to a recovery centre.

The Vehicle Excise Duty (Immobilisation, Removal and Disposal of Vehicles) Regulations 1997 provides the powers to remove un-taxed vehicles from the public highway.
