Free removal of unwanted vehicles

We can remove old and unwanted vehicles free of charge for residents living in the borough. We do this to prevent people abandoning their cars elsewhere.

Please complete the online form below to request for a vehicle to be removed.

You will need to provide a copy of:

the vehicle log book (V5C)
proof you live in the borough (for example, a recent utility or council tax bill).

These documents can be uploaded via the online form, posted, or submitted in person to the vehicle enforcement department, Wearside service centre, Wearside road, SE13 7EZ.

Do you have an account?

To request removal of an unwanted vehicle you will need a Lewisham Council account. If you don’t have an account already, please setup an account now and then return to this screen to make your request.
