Rushcliffe Borough Council is appealing for information after an abandoned caravan was discovered in a lay-by off the A606 Melton Road near the A46 roundabout in Widmerpool.
The vehicle is believed to have been left at the location on or around April 8, and council officers are now asking for help from the public to identify who may have been responsible or to trace its owner.
The lay-by sits on a busy route linking Nottinghamshire with Leicestershire, with the nearby A46 roundabout a key junction used by commuters and freight traffic. The council says it is possible the caravan was left during daylight hours or overnight, and is urging anyone who may have been travelling through the area at the time to come forward.
Abandoned vehicles can present a number of issues, including obstruction, safety risks for other road users, and potential environmental concerns if they are left for prolonged periods. Councils have powers to investigate and remove such vehicles, with costs often recovered from the registered owner where possible.
Rushcliffe Borough Council is particularly keen to hear from anyone who may have dashcam footage from the area around the date in question, or from residents and motorists who may recognise the caravan or recall suspicious activity in the lay-by.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the council on 0115 981 9911.
