Someone mentioned the concept of emissions-based parking charges in the Environmental Scrutiny Commission meeting this week so I thought I?d take a quick look. I was aware that there was a discount for residents? permits for hybrid and electric cars (see https://www.southwark.gov.uk/parking/parking-permits/on-street-permits/resident-parking-permits).


The draft schedule of 2021/22 parking charges being considered at Monday?s Overview and Scrutiny meeting seem to show increased charges for residents parking permits for diesel/ non ULEZ compliant vehicles. - see p12 here http://moderngov.southwark.gov.uk/documents/s93134/Appendix%20G%20Fees%20and%20Charges%202021-22.pdf


I?m not quite sure how this fits with the various ULEZ exemptions or where the underlying decision is - there was a recommendation in the draft Air Quality Commission report back in June. I gather there was some sort of discussion about it in 2011 - see http://moderngov.southwark.gov.uk/documents/s22389/Report%20Parking%20Charges%20for%20Residential%20Permits.pdf.


Anyone know?

Apparently in another thread it was pointed out there is a vast untapped market north of the Watford Gap. Unfortunately the top price offered is 2np or below.


Delivery is required for this price. They might even require a full tank of petrol.

    • I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.  
    • In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.
    • There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can. 
    • Like I thought… prob like that for most of the day.. especially after people had walked their dogs, with friends, relatives  kids…
