Parking squeeze in Clapham
Why are so many parking bays suspended? That is what Clapham residents have been asking over the last few weeks as rows of residents parking bays in several roads have been suspended for roadworks, making it increasingly difficult for residents to find a parking space. Roads affected include Stonhouse Street, Clapham Manor Street, Edgeley Road and Orlando Road.
“Why do all the roads have to be done at the same time?” asked Clapham Conservative Nick Maund. “There appears to be no thought given to local residents by Lambeth Council or the utilities.”
“Labour Lambeth is raking it in as companies have to pay them to suspend the bays. Given the sky high cost of parking permits residents the money should be used to give local people a rebate for the inconvenience caused,” added Matthew Jupp.
“We will be pressing Lambeth to do just that.”

Hi, I am a resident in Clapham My car was towed away from a suspended resident bay on 1st December 2008. the enforcement is from the 1st December 2008 at 08:00 to 19th December 2008 but my car was towed away at 08:00am surely it should be moved to a another resident bay or give me some time to remove it.
I had to pay £60 for PCN & £200 release fees.
Any help.
Many thanks
