 “You may already be aware but parking and abandoned vehicles are a common issue on Bridge Street, so yesterday I went down with Hyndburn Council and we removed seven vehicles that had no MOT, tax or insurance and reported 11 vehicles to the DVLA for no tax. 

“There are still quite a few vehicles on the street, we will continue to work on this street in the future with various partner agencies going forward.

“If you know of other problem areas/streets with many abandoned vehicles please [get in touch with police].”
