Community car clubs expand across Lewes district
A growing community car club network is helping to provide access to vehicles without the cost and commitment of car ownership.
Supported by Lewes District Council, Co-Wheels operates community car club vehicles in Lewes, Newhaven, Seaford and Peacehaven, offering residents a flexible pay-as-you-go alternative to owning a car.
The vehicles are available at:
- Pinwell Road Car Park, Lewes
- Phoenix Causeway Car Park, Lewes
- Little East Street, Lewes
- Lower Place Car Park, Newhaven
- Sutton Road, Seaford
- Steyning Avenue Car Park, Peacehaven
Councillor Emily O’Brien, Cabinet Member for Climate, Nature and Food Systems, said: “I’m delighted that Co Wheels expanded its service from Lewes across the district, to Peacehaven, Seaford and Newhaven.
“Car clubs provide a practical and affordable alternative to owning a vehicle, while helping to reduce congestion, lower carbon emissions and support more sustainable travel habits.
“Whether people need a car for shopping, visiting family or making a longer journey, this service offers convenient access to a vehicle without the ongoing costs of ownership.”
Users of the car clubs can access a vehicle when required, whilst reducing the number of privately-owned cars that appear on the roads.
Co-Wheels allows members to hire vehicles by the hour or day, with fuel, insurance and maintenance included.
