Croydon Council are proposing amendments to vehicle emissions based charges for pay-by-phone on-street parking, permit parking, off-street parking and standardisation of the no-return period.

There is currently a Consultation for you to comment on the changes proposed.

The proposals are:

• to replace the existing parking places that offer the first 30-minutes of parking for free with two-hour maximum stay emissions-based pay-by-phone  parking places with a one-hour free parking period.
• to replace existing free 30-minute, 40-minute, one-hour and two-hour maximum stay parking places with two-hour maximum stay emissions-based pay-by-phone parking places with a one-hour free parking period.
• to standardise the no return period at all payment parking places to two hours from the time a vehicle leaves the parking place.
• to amend emissions-based charges for off-street parking places within the London Borough of Croydon.
• to withdraw the quarterly (3-month) business permit.

NOTE: All parking places on and off-street are to become pay-by-phone only. Drivers will be required to sign up with the pay-by-phone provider to access emission-discounted charges. Those drivers not using the pay-by-phone facility will be charged at the higher band rates.
