Waltham Forest Council decided in December 2025 to make permanent changes to its Pay to Park (P2P) scheme. This decision, made at an Executive Decision meeting, followed a trial period that began in April 2025. The council also conducted a public consultation on the proposed changes, which generated over 5,000 responses.
The permanent changes include extending P2P hours and removing free parking periods across the borough. A report to the council stated the cost to make the order permanent is expected to be under £5,000, funded by Parking Services.
