The Nasinu Town Council has taken action to address the issue of abandoned vehicles by issuing removal notices for those left derelict along Vatoa Road and FNTC Road in Narere. The Council warns vehicle owners that failing to comply with these notices could lead to enforcement measures.
According to the Council’s statement, the abandoned vehicles not only diminish the aesthetic appeal of the area but also present significant health, safety, and environmental risks. Issues such as mosquito breeding, hindrance to traffic flow, and dangers to pedestrians and local residents are part of the concerns raised.
The Council has emphasized that leaving unattended vehicles on public roads or reserves is against their by-laws and has issued a firm warning to both garage owners and vehicle owners regarding this matter. “Failure to comply with removal notices will result in enforcement action, including fines, towing at the owner’s expense, and possible prosecution,” the Council stated.
These derelict vehicles also obstruct access for emergency services and impact community safety. Additionally, they can lead to rubbish dumping and hazardous waste, ultimately affecting the neighborhood’s property values and visual appeal.
The Council is urging residents and vehicle owners to take proactive measures by removing any abandoned vehicles without delay. Furthermore, the Nasinu Town Council is encouraging community collaboration to maintain a clean, safe, and accessible Narere for all. Residents can report abandoned vehicles or seek more information by contacting the Council office directly or messaging them online.
This initiative is part of a broader effort to maintain community standards and ensure that public spaces are enjoyable and safe for everyone. The Council’s call to action underscores the importance of collective responsibility in enhancing the quality of life in Narere.
