Abandoned vehicles

Report an abandoned vehicle (This link will open in a new window).

Over 500 abandoned vehicles are dumped in Tandridge every year. They can be dangerous especially so if burnt out, an eyesore, cause pollution and nuisance. It is an offence to abandon a vehicle and may result in a fine of up to £2500 upon summary conviction, plus the costs of the removal, disposal and any storage of the vehicle.

If you suspect a vehicle has been abandoned because of its condition or appearance, or the fact that it has not been moved for some weeks, please check if the vehicle has a valid tax disc. If it does then we are unlikely to be able to treat it as abandoned.
