What should I do about an abandoned car in Formby?
Formby is covered by Sefton Council. Sefton Council investigates vehicles abandoned on the highway that are not an immediate danger (0345 140 0845). Vehicles that are dangerously or illegally parked go to Merseyside Police on 101. 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.
