Parking suspension
Parking suspensions involve the temporary reservation of a specific parking bay on a designated day for the purpose of facilitating a house move.
This means that the parking bay is exclusively reserved for a particular vehicle associated with the move during the specified timeframe.
By obtaining a parking suspension, individuals ensure that the designated bay remains available and unoccupied, making it convenient for loading and unloading belongings during the relocation process.
The suspension guarantees that the parking space is not occupied by other vehicles, reducing the potential for disruptions and ensuring a smoother house move.
Securing parking bays for your move
When planning a domestic removal in London, arranging a parking bay suspension well in advance increases the likelihood of having nearby spaces available.
Most London Borough councils require you to arrange parking bay suspensions in advance.
The lead time for arranging a suspension can vary from 3 days to up to 2 weeks, depending on the council area. Therefore, it is advisable not to leave this task until the last minute.
Parking Dispensations
A dispensation is where a vehicle is given permission to park in a bay (or yellow lines) during restricted hours, without the need to put up a suspension notice. You are typically authorized to park in any available bay within a specified zone or area. However, the exact parking bay cannot be guaranteed, as it will depend on availability at the time of your arrival.
You should contact Transport for London for any Red Route dispensations requests.
