If the proposed by-laws are approved, vehicles would be clamped in areas such as Magunje Growth Point, Makuti, Tengwe, Kazangarare, Chidamoyo and Zvipani. Under the proposed wheel-clamping and tow away by-laws, owners of light vehicles immobilised will pay US$10, while heavy vehicles owners have to pay US$20. Storage for light and heavy vehicles per day will be US$20 and US$40 respectively.
Owners of unclaimed vehicles will be expected to collect them within 30 days from the date on which council will have notified them through a newspaper advertisement.
If owners fail to collect their vehicles, the local authority is seeking authority to sell the vehicles by public auction in order to recover the unpaid charges, while the difference will be paid to the owner within 30 days after the sale of the vehicle.
