Residents across Lewes district are being encouraged to take advantage of a growing community car club network, providing access to vehicles without the cost and commitment of car ownership.
Supported by Lewes District Council, Co Wheels Car Club operates community car club vehicles in Lewes, Newhaven, Seaford and Peacehaven, offering residents a flexible pay-as-you-go alternative to owning a car.
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.”
Residents using car clubs can access a vehicle when required while reducing the number of privately-owned cars on the road. Co-Wheels allows members to hire vehicles by the hour or day, with fuel, insurance and maintenance included.
The car clubs also complement the council's network of public electric vehicle charging points, which are available in car parks across the district.
