Free removal of unwanted vehicles
We are due to introduce a new system on Tuesday 1 July 2025. This could impact parking permits, suspensions and penalty charge notice (PCN) payments.
Please expect there may be some downtime the week starting Tuesday 1 July 2025.
The Staff and Visitor app will no longer be available from Tuesday 1 July 2025. An alternative option is in development.
Check back here for further updates.
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.
To qualify for this service, you must live in the borough and your vehicle must be registered in the borough.
We remove cars, motorbikes and small vans. We do not remove caravans, lorries or any vehicle containing rubbish.
