Parking Permits
Waltham Forest is addressing visitor permit issues, while Greenwich plans new parking permit types.
Waltham Forest Council is facing questions regarding issues with visitor permits and potential compensation for residents. In July 2026, councillors raised concerns that residents were paying for a service they were not receiving during a period of disruption related to parking permits. Councillor John Moss questioned if residents would be compensated, and the Deputy Leader for Housing and Regeneration, Councillor Eva Tabbasam, stated she would follow up.
Greenwich Council is preparing to decide on new parking permit traffic orders. The Director of Communities, Environment and Central is scheduled to agree to introduce three new permit types and proceed with statutory consultation in October 2025. This decision, which will affect all areas of Greenwich, is part of the process to implement new parking permits across the borough.
