What should I do about an abandoned car in Wirral?

Wirral is covered by Wirral Council. Wirral Council directs residents to report abandoned or obstructing vehicles to Merseyside Police, not to the council. 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.
