Persistent Evader powers
Redbridge Council is considering a vehicle removal and car pound service to address persistent parking offenders.
Redbridge Council discussed adopting a vehicle removal and car pound service in November 2025 to tackle illegal parking and persistent offenders. The proposal was considered by the Clean and Green Policy Development Committee as part of a broader review of parking services. The council aims for transparency and accountability in the removal process by adhering to strict criteria.
The proposed service would be tendered alongside the upcoming Civil Enforcement Service contract, which is currently managed by APCOA. This contract would allow the successful contractor to use a car pound facility located outside the borough. Persistent Evader powers refer to legal powers used to target repeat parking offenders.
