The Costs
This page will set out the direct financial costs and revenue implications for Newham Council of a free first residents' permit and free parking, separate from the wider fairness, traffic and environmental impact covered in The Impact of Free Parking.
Coming soon. We're gathering the detailed figures from Council reports and FOI requests. Check back soon for the full breakdown.
Once available, this page will cover:
- Estimated lost permit income from a free first permit
- Estimated lost income from one hour of free parking
- The knock-on effect on the Section 55 ring-fenced fund, and what it currently pays for
- Whether the shortfall would mean cuts, or a Council Tax rise
- How Newham's costs would compare with other London boroughs
Details to come.
