The Nasinu Town Council has taken a decisive step to enhance the safety and aesthetics of the community by issuing removal notices for abandoned vehicles parked along Vatoa and FNTC Road in Narere. These neglected vehicles have become a source of concern, posing health and safety hazards such as mosquito breeding, traffic obstruction, and environmental risks.
In a strong message to garage and vehicle owners, the Council emphasized that leaving vehicles unattended on public roads or reserves is a violation of the law. Noncompliance with the removal notices may lead to enforcement actions, including financial penalties, towing of the vehicles at the owner’s cost, and potential prosecution under existing Council by-laws.
The presence of derelict vehicles not only obstructs access for emergency services and pedestrians but also creates areas for illegal dumping of waste, significantly impacting the community’s environment and lowering property values. The Council appeals to all vehicle owners to take immediate action and remove these vehicles, thereby contributing to a cleaner and safer neighborhood.
This proactive initiative by the Nasinu Town Council reflects a commitment to improving public safety and promoting community responsibility. By addressing the issue of abandoned vehicles, the Council aims to foster a more appealing living environment for its residents.
