Parking and Enforcement Plan (PEP) borough wide consultation

We are currently reviewing our parking policies. We are consulting with residents and businesses to make sure our Parking Enforcment Plan (PEP) for 2010-15 reflects the wide range of parking needs in the borough and we are seeking their views on a range of issues. For more details about the consultation and to have your say, please visit the PEP page.

Parking Service

We maintain and enforce controlled parking zones, issue and control parking permits, issue Penalty Charge Notices and manage car parks as part of our parking services.

Our environment is a key concern to us. In addition to making Hackney safer, we want to make it cleaner and greener through reducing air pollution. Hackney was declared an air action zone in 2006, due to the high levels of pollution in the air.

Application forms can be found under downloads on the right. For information about permits and penalty charges, including information about how to pay, please see the pages on the left.

• in a permit bay (where resident’s and business permits can be used to park);
• perpendicular to the kerb; and
• at one end of the bay, in a manner that would not prevent permit holders from parking in that bay.
