A crackdown on untaxed and unroadworthy cars in Thornton Heath has seen multiple vehicles removed.
The initiative is part of Croydon Council's ongoing commitment to tackle antisocial behaviour in the borough.
The council has targeted vehicles left abandoned on the corner of Livingstone Road and Norbury Road, which were causing a nuisance in the area.
The cars and motorcycles were left by a former tenant and were described by the council as "unsightly" and "unroadworthy".
The vehicles were the subject of complaints from local residents who said they were occupying valuable parking spaces and making access to properties difficult.
The council's environmental enforcement team responded by issuing first warnings and subsequently, Community Protection Notices to the owner of the vehicles.
However, when no action was taken, the council used its powers to remove the vehicles, which were in poor condition, unregistered, untaxed, and without MOTs.
They have since been destroyed, and the council is now looking to prosecute the person responsible and recover the costs of enforcement.
The removal is part of continued efforts in the area to respond to resident reports of antisocial behaviour.
Previous crackdowns have targeted vehicles on surrounding roads to Norbury Road, Parchmore Road in Thornton Heath, and Kilmartin Avenue in Norbury.
Jason Perry, executive mayor for Croydon, said: "I, like many residents, have had enough of people behaving in antisocial and disrespectful ways that have a negative impact on our neighbourhoods.
"Having these unsightly and unroadworthy vehicles on your doorstep is depressing, makes it harder to park nearer homes, and can encourage other antisocial behaviours.
"We are listening to our residents who are reporting these issues to us and over the past year, we have removed a number of vehicles, and if residents continue to tell us it is a problem we will continue to tackle it."
The council is continuing its zero-tolerance approach towards antisocial behaviour in the borough.
