Nasinu Town Council issues removal notices for derelict vehicles

Nasinu Town Council has issued removal notices for derelict vehicles abandoned along Vatoa Road and FNTC Road in Narere, warning owners to remove them immediately or face enforcement action.

The council said the abandoned vehicles pose serious health and safety risks, including mosquito breeding, obstruction to traffic and environmental hazards.

Garage operators and vehicle owners have been reminded that leaving vehicles unattended on public roads or road reserves is illegal under council by-laws.

Failure to comply with the removal notices may result in fines, vehicles being towed at the owner’s expense and possible prosecution, the council said.

The council said derelict vehicles also block access for emergency services and pedestrians, become dumping grounds for rubbish and hazardous waste, and reduce the visual appeal and property values of the area.

Residents have been urged to take responsibility and help keep Narere clean, safe and accessible.

Members of the public can contact the Nasinu Town Council office to report abandoned vehicles or seek further information.
