Stop Camden Motorcycle Parking Charges - deadline cob Sunday

[five50]

Nearly three years after they were first proposed, Camden has put out a new consultation on motorcycle parking charges.

This is the fourth time Camden have tried to bring in charges, and every time riders have stopped them. Hoping we can act together to stop them again.

What they have set out is very brief and lacks many important details - however from talking to Camden, they propose;

- parking permits for residents', businesses' and doctors' motorcycles to cost the same price as cars

- solo motorcycle bays charged at £2.60/day (£2 for electric) costing £600/year for a commuter

- FoI reveals that 1 in 7 riders - those living in 'car-free developments' - face charges up to £950/year - more than any car

- other residents' permits to nearly double from £75 to £146/year (£139 for electric)

- only 1 permit allowed per person so those with both a car and a PTW will be forced to sell one

- introducing motorcycle business permits at £419/year and doctors permits at £326

It appears Camden no longer plan to ban commuting with £6/hour and maximum stay limits in solo motorcycle bays, as they planned in 2020. This is one positive sign that they are listening, but many of the charges are even worse than last time. This is an outrageous attack on PTW riders and we need your help to fight the plans!

The consultation is running until 5th November.

They were stopped them before, hoping they can be stopped again!
