The Nasinu Town Council has issued removal notices for derelict vehicles abandoned along Vatoa Road and FNTC Road in Narere, warning that failure to comply will result in enforcement action.
In a statement, the Council said the abandoned vehicles are not only an eyesore but also pose serious health, safety and environmental risks. These include mosquito breeding, obstruction to traffic flow, and hazards to pedestrians and nearby residents.
The Council has issued a stern warning to garage owners and vehicle owners, stressing that leaving unattended vehicles on public roads or road reserves is illegal under Council by-laws.
“Failure to comply with removal notices will result in enforcement action, including fines, towing at the owner’s expense, and possible prosecution,” the Council said.
The Council highlighted that derelict vehicles block access for emergency services and pedestrians, attract rubbish dumping and hazardous waste, and negatively affect the visual appeal and property values of the community.
Residents and vehicle owners are urged to take responsibility and remove abandoned vehicles immediately.
The Nasinu Town Council is calling on the community to work together to keep Narere clean, safe and accessible for everyone. Members of the public can contact the Council office or message the Council directly to report abandoned vehicles or obtain further information.
