Parking and Abandoned Vehicles

Parking

Parking is often limited and not guaranteed so please don't assume there will be somewhere for you to park when you move into your new premises. Where we have allocated you parking, it is imperative that you only park in your allocated space(s). If we have not allocated spaces, then you must only park in the designated areas, on a first come basis, and not on grassed areas or verges. 

All occupiers should be able to enjoy free access to their property and we ask all our tenants to co-operate to achieve this. Access roads and other units must not be obstructed at any time. 

Unless you have consent to do so, the parking/storing of the likes of trailers, boats, caravans, static homes, shipping containers, skips and vehicles that are not roadworthy etc. is strictly prohibited.

Abandoned Vehicles

An abandoned vehicle is one that appears not to be in regular use and has been in the same place for a period of time, usually three weeks or more. Consideration should also be given to the condition of the vehicle. 

If you consider a vehicle to be abandoned please notify us: 
Email: beacon@newark-sherwooddc.gov.uk or call 01636 653100. 

We will need to know: 
• The location of the vehicle 
• When it was first parked at the location 
• Its condition 
• If it appears anyone has visited it 
• Vehicle’s make and model 
• Colour 
• Registration number 

We will make contact with neighbouring occupiers to establish whether the vehicle is connected to them or if they have further information about the vehicle.

If the vehicle is considered abandoned, we will report it to the District Council's Public Protection Team who will investigate further. 

The costs for removal, destruction or storage of abandoned vehicles is recovered from the last known keeper. Non-payment will result in action being taken in the County Court.
