The initiative involves agencies from the Local Authority, DVLA, Humberside fire and Rescue and Humberside Police.

The main aims of Operation Nemesis are:

  • To remove abandoned and untaxed vehicles quickly and efficiently
  • To discourage further abandonment
  • To improve the quality of life for residents
  • To reduce vehicle arson and associated anti-social behaviour
  • To remove ‘pool’ vehicles used for criminal activity
  • To encourage vehicle licensing
  • To provide a cleaner and healthier environment

To date, 79 vehicles have been removed.
