Temporary Parking Permit in London for Moving

Applying for a Temporary Parking Permit for any London Borough would involve contacting your local Council and explaining the situation outside your property (e.g. yellow line, red line, zigzag, bus stop, etc.) then seeking the best advice to go forward. Some councils require around seven days of advanced notice to acquire a moving permit, though it varies and is subject to availability, try to reserve removal permit sooner to avoid disappointments.

The temporary bay suspension of parking bays for your removal truck being as close as possible to your property helps expedite the relocation process and ensures your move runs smoothly on the moving day without any unforeseen major hiccups. It also saves time, energy and money.

How to reserve Parking Dispensation for Property Moves

Arranging a Parking Dispensation well in advance means a higher chance of nearby spaces that can be provided by the council. However, please note that some Government Boroughs still permit an exemption allowing removal vehicles to stop when continuously engaged in a property moving process and there is no inactivity for more than five minutes.

The only downside is that some of the Ticket Wardens are not very kind due to being commissioned based system. In this scenario, keeping a lookout for them would be a wise move, and when confronted, client clarifying the situation works better than removal staff explaining, as they tend to be a lot easy going with clients, probably because they have seen them in the area before.
