Cars, Illegal Dumping and Graffiti

Abandoned Cars

If you are concerned that a vehicle near to your home or on your estate may be abandoned, please report this to your local council.

Illegal Dumping

If you have noticed items, you believe have been fly-tipped, start by speaking to your neighbours to see if the items are theirs and they have already made arrangements to clear. If you have made enquiries and no-one knows, you can take the following action:

• If the items are on our land, please contact your Housing Coordinator with a photo if possible.
• If the item is not on our land, please contact your local council who will arrange to get it removed.

Graffiti

This is a criminal offence and can be reported to the Police. If the graffiti is on our land, please contact your Housing Coordinator with a photo. If the graffiti is not on our land, please contact the local council who will arrange to get it removed.

Parking

Please be considerate when you park your vehicle and avoid causing any obstruction to other drivers, pedestrians or emergency services. Try not to block people in or park in a way that makes it difficult for other people to get in or out of parking spaces.

There are many areas of shared parking and spaces cannot be reserved or allocated to individuals. These spaces are not for vehicles such as caravans, motor homes, boats, trailers, heavy goods vehicles, buses and minibuses.

Obstructive Parking

If your neighbour is parking in a manner which obstructs your ability to enter/leave your home and/or allocated parking space, start by speaking to them first, they may not be aware their actions are causing you a problem. If the problem continues then you can take the following action:

• If it is on a public verge and the vehicle is found to be parked contravening local parking regulations contact your local authority.
• If it is parked in such a manner where it needs to be removed immediately, please contact the Police who will arrange this if deemed necessary.

Speeding or Dangerous Vehicles

if you believe that a Road Traffic Offence has been committed, such as speeding or dangerous driver, you should report the incident and circumstances as soon as possible to your local Police.
