What should I do about an abandoned car in Chester?

Chester is covered by Cheshire West and Chester Council. Report it to the council online, through its app or on 01244 973708 and they will arrange for it to be checked and removed. Obstructions, burnt-out, stolen or badly parked vehicles go to Cheshire Police on 101, and vehicles on private land are a matter for the landowner. If the car is your own and you no longer want it, scrapping it with a licensed ATF avoids that route: we collect for free and issue a DVLA Certificate of Destruction.
