Request to park on a yellow line

 
From time to time, it may be necessary for a vehicle to park on a yellow line to undertake work at a nearby premise.

What to do

If you require a dispensation, you must apply in advance. A minimum of seven working days' notice is required.

Telephone Parking Services on 020 8921 4339 in advance and provide:

  • details of the dispensation you require
  • when you require it
  • for how long it is required
  • the reason for parking on the yellow line.
As such parking could affect traffic flows, Parking Services will need to check with the Highways section that the dispensation can be permitted.

What it costs

With effect from 1 April 2008, it costs £13 per day for a dispensation. 

Charities and certain types of business such as glazing and scaffolding companies, where we understand it is necessary to have the vehicle at the location, are not charged.

How to pay

What happens next

If the Highway section agrees to the dispensation, we will prepare a dispensation document that we will send to you by post.

When parking on the yellow line, the dispensation must be clearly on display such that it can be seen and available for checking by a civil enforcement officer.
