What should I do about an abandoned car in West Derby?

West Derby is covered by Liverpool City Council. Report it through Merseyside Police's anti-social behaviour form or on 101. If the police have no interest in the vehicle, they pass the report to the council's City Watch Officers, who make enquiries and contact the registered keeper. 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.
