New parking permit system launched

Royal Greenwich is launching an all zones permit system, from 19 March 2024. This approach streamlines parking for businesses and visitors, which they say will make it easier to park anywhere in the borough.

The all zones permit streamlines parking by replacing zone-specific permits for drivers who need to park frequently in different areas across the borough. Holders can park in any controlled zone parking bay in the borough for a full year with this convenient e-permit, eliminating the need for a physical display in their vehicle. 

The processing of vehicle drive away and prevented from issue postal penalty charge notice (Reg 10) means we can now post a parking ticket if the civil enforcement officer (CEO) is legitimately prevented from issuing a parking ticket due to a vehicle driving away before the CEO can issue a parking ticket due to the parking rules being breached.  

A Council spokesperson said, "Introducing all zone permits, offers visitors and businesses a more convenient and flexible parking solution. This new permit will be especially beneficial for those who frequently need to park across the borough, as it provides a cost-effective and hassle-free option for accessing parking in multiple zones. The implementation of Vehicle Drive Away and Prevent From Issue postal PCN, further ensures fair and responsible parking practices within the borough.” 

The all zones permit comes in two options: 

• Single Vehicle Permit: Ideal for drivers with one vehicle, priced at £1500 per year. 
• Multi-Vehicle Permit: Perfect for businesses or those with multiple vehicles, priced at £1800 per year and valid for up to 10 vehicles (one active vehicle at a time, managed through an online account). 

The all zones permit offers the convenience of parking anywhere in designated Royal Borough of Greenwich bays, the flexibility of choosing a single or multi-vehicle option, and cost-effectiveness for frequent visitors and businesses compared to daily charges.
