Removal notices for derelict vehicles located along Vatoa and FNTC Road in Narere were issued by the Nasinu Town Council today.

The Council stresses that these abandoned vehicles are not only an eyesore but also pose serious health and safety risks, including mosquito breeding, obstruction of traffic, and environmental hazards.

The Council also issued stern warnings to garage owners and vehicle owners, stating that leaving vehicles unattended on public roads or road reserves is illegal.

                                                

They emphasise that failure to comply with removal notices will result in enforcement action, including fines, towing at the owner’s expense, and possible prosecution under Council by-laws.

The Council highlights the importance of this task, as derelict vehicles block access for emergency services and pedestrians, become dumping grounds for rubbish and hazardous waste, and reduce the visual appeal and property value of the community.

The Council is urging all owners to take responsibility and remove these vehicles immediately.
