London Borough of Tower Hamlets Parking Enforcement Plan

What is the Parking Enforcement Plan?

The Tower Hamlets Parking Enforcement Plan (PEP) brings together all existing parking and mobility management policies into one single document. Together, these policies are used to plan and enforce parking across the borough.

Background

The existing PEP was written 16 years ago. Since then, technology has advanced, and the need to address poor air quality and traffic emissions in the borough has become more important than ever. Therefore, updating and modernising our PEP is necessary to reflect these changes and deliver a fair, transparent, and high-quality parking service across the borough.

Our new Parking Enforcement Plan

Our new PEP will deliver the parking our residents and businesses need, increase compliance, and ensure we have robust processes to tackle fraud. The PEP will be aligned with national, regional, and council priorities, clearly outlining the operation of our parking services, the decision-making processes, the appeals procedures, and the management of our contractors.

The new PEP will align with our existing Tower Hamlets Strategic Plan 2022-2026 and bring all parking policies and procedures into one document.
