its already a pisstake with half the roads closed and every inch of the borough being controlled parking, now they are planning to rinse residents.
This actually makes it cheaper for me cos our area’s cpz only operates for 2 hours a day and in my ignorance I’ve been buying daily permits for visitors at £5 a pop when I could be using 2 one-hourly permits. I assumed you couldn’t use 2 hourly ones one after the other.
Good.
Woah, that’s way too high
I don’t like cars but that seems a bit much
Parking pricing should be purely based on supply and demand.
good. Parking is for some reason the most highly subsidised land in london, despite being used by the richest.
Weird way to make money, they should charge larger vehicles more on all resident permits and visitor permits.
Ealing Council is telling residents to make driveways for this reason, the driveway will never be blocked because of dropped kerb parking rules
Just to clarify a couple of things:
1. This affects visitors permits, so the cost of have a trades person visit your house will increase, or family visiting etc.
2. If affects the poorer ends of the bough far more than the richer areas. ([Cost increase vs area deprivation](https://imgur.com/a/XvCnnol))
Is there a consultation just to reject it
Somebody has to pay for the increase of temporary accommodation
I live in one of the affected areas. This change would increase the current £5/day visitor permit to around £15 a day.
The biggest problem with the proposal is that it punishes those living in the areas with the longest CPZs the most. For those in the Western end of the borough, where CPZs tend to be a couple of hours a day, it doesn’t change things. For those living in the Eastern end – worst around Wood Green – it means guest permits would be something like £17 a day. A lot of the areas worst affected are not wealthy – and the [charge increases appear to be correlated with deprivation.](https://imgur.com/a/XvCnnol)
If you have tradespeople visit it’s often hard to know how long they’ll be there – so that means £15 for every day. If you did major building works, you could be incurring that cost for months – double so if they have multiple vehicles.
Family visiting for a few days? £50 in parking fees. All to park in a space which is never normally filled.
There’s plenty of parking spaces in the areas affected right now. I could understand increasing the charges if there was too much demand – but there clearly isn’t. The price increase would put on-street parking in zone 3 and 4 at a level comparable with Central London.
