Another 32 abandoned and untaxed vehicles have been removed from Thanet in the latest Operation Cubit.
During the latest week long operation, 13 vehicles were seized from Margate
Operation Cubit is led by Thanet District Council, with help from Kent Police, Kent County Council, the DVLA and Kent Fire and Rescue Service.
Once a vehicle is removed, owners have to pay £260, plus storage costs, to reclaim their vehicles. If they tax their vehicle within two weeks, then £160 of this is refundable.
If they fail to either tax the vehicles or declare that they are off the road, then a follow-up visit is made to see if the vehicle is still being driven illegally and, if it is, it will be removed. If owners do not claim and pay for their vehicles, then they will either be crushed or sold.
Abandoned vehicles can be reported by calling 01843 577066.
