Minutes:

Cabinet considered a report on the Introduction of All Day Visitor Permit/Voucher.

It was explained that following concerns raised by ward members and residents of visitor permits primarily in controlled parking zone ROST and which were currently Havering’s only controlled parking zone operational 24 hours per day 7 days per week, officers had reviewed the visitor’s permit policy with a view to introducing a zone-specific visitors’ permit.

Therefore the reported suggested an implementation an all-day visitor permit in resident parking zones where applicable. This would enable and assist those who have longer term visits and should reduce the use of the shorter-term visitor permits which are currently the only option available to them.
