On 7 October 2024, the London Borough of Waltham Forest launched its Pay to Park consultation.
Pay to Park bays are on-street parking spaces that are mostly located close to town and shopping centre. They do not include bays in car parks, or residents’ parking bays in CPZ areas.
Currently, most Pay to Park bays in Waltham Forest charge from Monday to Saturday between the hours of 10am to 1pm and 2pm to 4pm, with an hour of free parking between 1pm to 2pm. The proposals would see these hours changed so charges apply from Monday to Sunday between 8am to 6:30pm. The proposed changes will also remove the current offer of 15 minutes’ free parking in any Pay to Park bay.
We feel that this would be detrimental to local business. We have shared the consultation information with local businesses and actively encouraged businesses along Old Church Road and Station Road to respond to the consutation.
The consultation closes on Monday 28 October 2024.
