New info about parking on Council estates – Traffic Management Order implementation
The Council has published new information about the introduction of a Traffic Management Order on its housing estates which will allow the enforcement of parking restrictions on Council-owned housing estate land.
Up until now, parking restrictions on council estates were not enforceable by law. Finally, the council has started to fix this and is introducing the right orders to make sure people park properly and can be fined if they don’t comply.
Here is the message from the team:
“We aim to send all residents communication during the April/May period which will contain a link or QR code, allowing them to reapply for their current bays via our new online portal. This platform has been set up to provide residents with a more secure and efficient process which will be easier to navigate and complete. We will ensure that Advance warning notices are subsequently posted at the appropriate time to inform residents when the TMO will take effect on the estate.
Any residents who have queries about estate parking bays, must e-mail tmo.project@towerhamlets.gov.uk which will then be responded to accordingly. All areas within the estate will be enforced by NSL Services and those parking their vehicles illegally will receive a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) once we go live.”
There have been subsequent questions from residents who have been worried about whether they will keep their existing bay. Here is the response from the team:
“We want to assure you that once the allocations process begins for your estate, all existing bay holders will get the opportunity to reapply for their parking bay. An “Expression of Interest” letter will be posted to all residents with instructions on how to reapply for their existing bay.
In the coming months you may notice advance warning signs being placed around the car park, which will inform you of the upcoming changes. Please keep an eye out for these signs as they will provide helpful information regarding the timeline and process.”
