The Nasinu Town Council has announced the issuance of removal notices for abandoned and derelict vehicles located along Vatoa Road and FNTC Road in Narere. The Council warns that failure to comply with these notices may lead to enforcement action.
In its statement, the Council emphasized that these abandoned vehicles are not only unsightly but also present significant health, safety, and environmental hazards. Issues such as mosquito breeding, traffic obstructions, and dangers to pedestrians and nearby residents have been noted as key concerns.
The Council has made it clear that both garage owners and vehicle owners must understand the legal implications of leaving unattended vehicles on public roads or in road reserves, as such actions violate Council by-laws. The potential consequences for non-compliance include fines, towing at the owner’s expense, and possible prosecution.
Furthermore, the presence of derelict vehicles obstructs access for emergency services, invites rubbish dumping and hazardous waste, and detracts from the visual appeal of the community, ultimately affecting property values. To counter this, the Council is urging residents to take initiative and remove abandoned vehicles promptly.
The Nasinu Town Council is advocating for community collaboration to keep Narere clean, safe, and accessible for everyone. Residents are encouraged to reach out to the Council office or message them directly to report abandoned vehicles or seek further information on this initiative. This call to action aims to foster a united effort in improving the community’s overall well-being.
