Vehicle alarm/ Abandoned vehicle

Reported via mobile in the Abandoned vehicles category anonymously at 15:10, Wednesday 8 January 2025

Sent to Royal Borough of Greenwich less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6952043.

For the last month or so, this vehicle has been parked in the local parking area. Every day/ night the car’s alarm gets triggered but it appears that the owner doesn’t live in any of the nearby houses so it goes on incessantly. I’ve not noticed anyone inspect the car, or check up on its condition since it was left there, which makes me believe that it’s been abandoned. Please could the council come and collect it as not only is it taking up parking space, but it is an annoyance for the neighbours to hear the alarm every night.
