Coun Nick Craft, executive member for environment, said: “Abandoned vehicles can be an eyesore and we work with the DVLA to quickly identify the owner responsible.

“Removing abandoned vehicles has a large cost implication to us and whilst numbers of vehicles are relatively low in South Kesteven, where possible we will always pursue those found to have illegally left the vehicle with prosecution.

“If you suspect a vehicle is abandoned on land you own you are advised to check its owner details with the DVLA in order for you to contact the owner.”
