Parking Services
Harrow Council has approved permanent parking changes, while Newham is reviewing its services and Redbridge is developing its parking strategy.
Harrow Council's Cabinet approved the permanent implementation of parking in Rayners Lane in September 2026. Newham Council launched a comprehensive review of its parking services in July 2026, aiming to ensure fairness and transparency by examining supply, demand, permit zones, charging structures, and enforcement. Croydon Council's Cabinet decided in July 2026 to consolidate several customer-facing services, including those related to parking, into a 'Front Door' reception at Cavendish House.
Redbridge Council's Clean and Green Policy Development Committee explored introducing a vehicle removal service and car pound in January 2026, following workshops on improving parking services. This initiative aims to address persistent offenders and obstructions. In March 2026, Ealing Council's Shareholder Committee approved the 2026/27 business plan for Greener Ealing Limited, allocating £5.168 million to Parking Services for enforcement.
As part of its wider Parking Services Strategy, Redbridge Council's Clean and Green Policy Development Committee considered introducing Carer Permits and removing administration fees for disabled residents in November 2025. The strategy also includes exploring emissions-based charging for resident and business permit holders.
