Havering Council is set to review its parking regulations for local businesses following a petition presented at a recent council meeting. The petition, titled the Keep It Local Fair Parking Campaign,
calls for parking parity with Hornchurch, proposing half an hour of free parking, a two-hour stay for £1, and two free business parking permits per establishment.
Councillor Jane Keane presented the petition, highlighting the significant number of residents who have signed it and urging the council to consider their demands. The petition was passed to the appropriate services for attention.
The council meeting, held on Wednesday, March 18, 2026, also saw discussions on various other resident concerns, including road safety, public toilets, and double yellow lines. However, the parking petition specifically addresses the financial and practical challenges faced by local businesses.
Further details on the council's review process and any proposed changes to parking rules are expected to be released following the attention given to the petition by the relevant services.
