CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) - Basildon Council service and information updates

Basildon Council is making decisions day by day in order to balance the need to maintain essential services and the need to support those who need our help the most, while at the same time following public health guidance for the protection of the public and staff against infection from coronavirus (COVID-19).

Report an Untaxed Vehicle

Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) contractors visit the District daily and will remove any untaxed vehicles from the Highway without notice and put them into storage. The Highway includes most lay-bys, verges and garage areas.

To claim a vehicle from storage the owner will need to pay a fee and a surety if it cannot be proven that the vehicle is taxed. DVLA will prosecute the owner for tax evasion.

Report untaxed vehicles on the Highway:

Online: Report an untaxed vehicle direct to DVLA
