Hello
I live in E2 (shoreditch) and my building is in a car free zone, meaning tower hamlets refuses to grant me a resident parking permit. I guess there is no solution here but I thought I'd ask you guys and you might know a trick... ?
Thanks
This is part of a hidden Masterplan. In approximately eight years there won't be any fossil fuel cars allowed in Zones 1 - 2.I live in E2 (shoreditch) and my building is in a car free zone, meaning tower hamlets refuses to grant me a resident parking permit.

Most councils will rent you a garage for on average £100-£150 a month!I live in E2 (shoreditch) and my building is in a car free zone, meaning tower hamlets refuses to grant me a resident parking permit.

Justpark, Gumtree, etc have parking spaces for rent. NCP, Qpark and the like offer season tickets too. Else dump your car somewhere out in zone 3-4, 10+ minutes walk from a tube station where the CPZs stop.
Edit: £150 for a garage near there would be a bargain. My lock-up (albeit privately rented) outsize zone 2 was costing more than that!

hmm you've got 3 choices
1. Rent a garage
2. Park the car out in zone 3/4 as I'm sure bit by bit all of zone 1/2 has been permit enforced. somewhere ive noticed is permit free on my travels round town lately is Plaistow which is on district line & not too far out (plenty of parking spaces here btw).
3. Rent a parking space/driveway. Loads of sites out there people advertise on. My neighbours do it. Should be loads of people with apartments with a space they don't use near you.

I'm in a similar situation. We're in Southwark and our building has no parking. I've got a Porsche 944 which only gets used as a weekend toy. I've bitten the bullet and rent a parking space in Shad Thames. Which is the closest place i could find a space that was secure.
