How can I buy a parking permit from Southwark council before I move to a new property?


Recommended Posts

Hi,


I was wondering if anybody could advise me on this. I am moving into a house that's in the middle of a CPZ, and need to get myself a parking permit. I need the parking permit before my move so that I can park my car. However, Southwark Council won't (for reasons that I understand) allow me to buy a permit online before I get a council tax number for the property in question.


I was wondering if anybody knows how I can solve this vexing conundrum by doing something like:


1. Buying a post-dated parking permit using my new rental contract as proof, or

2. Buying a temporary parking permit, or

3. Getting a council tax number in advance.


I was very surprised that Southwark Council's website didn't have anything on this at all. I can't be the first person to face this issue! :-(


Thanks in advance,


Sid

That should work well, jrpfinch, thanks a million. I was very confused by the whole parking permit thing as, by some quirk of a benevolent fate, I have never had to live on a road that required parking permits before this.:-)
Also, the vehicle with your furniture will need one to offload so get hold of some visitors day passes at the same time. You can get these from the One Stop Shops - there is one on the Old Kent Road but surely must be one a bit closer. When I lived in a CPZ, I always had a book of them to hand.

    • Malumbu, you're absolutely right. The vet bills due to attacks on neighbouring cats are certainly not insignificant at all. The wounds can even lead to fatalities. I always urge clients, neighbours & community posters to target the root cause, as opposed to skirting around the underlying & often persistent issue. Connecting with local organisations like Celia Hammond Animal Trust, Cats Protection or Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) initiatives is a longterm solution. This is heighlighted, although briefly, under Improving Community Wellbeing. - I'd also like to highlight that if ever unsure whether the culprit is intact, owned or feral, & are hesitant to report, just in case it's a neighbour's neutered cat, you can call upon a Scan Angel or our team at TWB to check for a microchip first. - If the culprit does happen to be a neighbour's neutered cat, there are a variety of solution; both immediate & longterm that I would be more than happy to help with. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me at [email protected]
    • Also wanted to leave my recommendation for Lukasz. He came completely on time, was highly efficient, did everything we asked and more without charging extra and left the place immaculate. A real gem - we will definitely use him again! 
    • Not sure if you added Tomd that have not been neutered terrorising other cats in the area.  Happened round here.  Would have been tempted to castrate the tom if I'd caught it.  Water pistol was not a deterrent.  Vets bills due to various attacks on other moggies was not insignificant 
    • That's good news. I saw that DVillage is also being renovated. Now the pavement in front is wider and flatter with the recent works, they'll have a nice setup indoors and outdoors.
