    For an abandoned vehicle on a public road, the council inspects and tags the vehicle, leaves it for the statutory notice period, then instructs the contracted recovery operator. The vehicle is taken to the council pound; the registered keeper is identified through the DVLA keeper register and notified of the charges in writing. Council recovery pound details for this area are to be confirmed; call the council directly on the published number for the live pound address.

    For a vehicle parked illegally (rather than abandoned) the process is shorter: the parking enforcement officer can authorise immediate removal under the Road Traffic Act 1991. Release fees and storage charges differ between the abandoned-vehicle scheme and the parking enforcement scheme; both are published on the council website.
