Parking bay suspensions and dispensations

Suspensions

If you wish to clear or reserve a parking bay within one of our residential parking zones, you will need to apply for a suspension.

A suspension can be arranged for major construction, building or road works, filming, access and public safety. These suspensions are subject to a service charge and charge per bay per day.

A limited suspension service is also available to residents for special circumstances such as moving house. These suspensions are subject to a service charge but there is no bay charge for up to two bays for one day.

Note: Service charge is non-refundable for all approved applications

Film and television production companies seeking help with parking should contact Tower Hamlets Film Office on telephone number 020 72471244.

You can find out more about our charges for suspensions and dispensations on our parking charges page.

You will need to read and agree to the suspension terms and conditions before submitting your application.

Dispensations

A parking dispensation allows you to wait or load on a single yellow line (or in special cases on double yellow lines).

Dispensations will be granted only where there is no alternative parking available for the reasons set out in the application.

We need at least three working days to process a dispensation request. Vehicle owners are asked to make sure that vehicles using the dispensation do not cause obstruction.

These charges are clearly stated on the bottom of the application form. All charges must be paid in advance.

You will need to read and agree to the dispensation terms and conditions before submitting your application.
