A car in Boscombe clamped by the DVLA
JUST four weeks after being granted new powers by the DVLA, council officials have destroyed four vehicles abandoned in Bournemouth.
As reported, the council can now remove illegal vehicles from the highway. Those causing an obstruction or posing a danger to other road users will be moved as a priority.
The authority is also authorised to take enforcement action against untaxed vehicles. Cars examined and found to be untaxed for more than two months and a day will be clamped and removed from the highway.
Since mid-February, the council has clamped 13 vehicles and destroyed four. Seven remain in storage waiting to be claimed by their owners.
