Equality Impact Assessment (EqIA)
Waltham Forest Council is assessing the impact of proposed Pay to Park scheme changes through an Equality Impact Assessment.
Waltham Forest Council is currently conducting an Equality Impact Assessment (EqIA) on proposed permanent changes to its Pay to Park (P2P) scheme. These changes, under consideration since December 2025, include extending P2P hours to 8am - 6:30pm, Monday to Saturday, and removing free parking periods. The EqIA will assess the potential impact of these proposals on different groups.
No upcoming council meetings are currently scheduled to discuss Equality Impact Assessments. An EqIA is a process used to assess the potential impact of policies or decisions on different groups of people, particularly those with protected characteristics, ensuring that policies do not unlawfully discriminate.
