A caravan is among the latest bizarre objects to have been abandoned in Upminster.
Just last year, a large converted shed was deserted across Pike Lane.
The caravan is understood to have been reported as abandoned on Pea Lane to Havering Council on January 24, prompting an alert to motorists to "take care".
Pea Lane was subsequently closed, with access limited to residents only, whilst the council's highways team worked to deal with the vehicle.
It has since been removed.
According to Havering Council, it was removed by a "private tow truck" despite arrangements having been made for contractors to remove it.
A spokesperson said: “The caravan was reported to us by a resident and our enforcement team and local authority liaison officer [LALO] immediately inspected it to make it safe and contacted contractors to arrange for it to be towed away.
“However, a private tow truck arrived soon after and removed the caravan and no further action from the council was needed.”
Nearby, fly-tipped waste was also discovered by the roadside which the council advised would be removed "early next week".
