Rarotonga is struggling to cope with over a thousand wrecked and abandoned cars lying on roadsides waiting to be scrapped.

Cook Islands General Transport says the rusting vehicles are an eyesore for tourists, use up valuable agricultural land and pose a health hazard as breeding grounds for mosquitos.

Business Development Manager, Jessie Sword, spoke to Jenny Meyer about the abandoned car problem.
