The Haringey (Charged for Parking Places) (Amendment No. *) Order 202* T20

1. Notice is hereby given that the Council of the London Borough of Haringey proposes to make the above mentioned Orders under sections 45, 46, 49 and 124 of and Part IV of Schedule 9 to the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, as amended.

2. The general effect of the Order: To make the following changes to the Essential Service Permit (ESP) to facilitate those who need to use a motor vehicle to deliver essential services to Haringey residents:

a) ESPs issued to Council staff will be transferrable

b) ESP charges will increase by inflation (10%) and a new £80 surcharge will be applied to diesel fuelled vehicles, see Schedule below.

c) Schools are to be removed from the reduced charge ESP scheme. An annual allocation of transferable school (ESP) permits, which can be allocated as and when required, will be made available to schools that are Ofsted-registered and have an up-to-date School Travel Plan. The permit will be limited in use to specific streets close to the school. It is proposed that an allocation of 10 ESPs is made available at a charge of £200 per permit annually. Those requiring a higher allocation will be limited in total to 20 per school. Each additional permit (above the standard 10 allocation) will attract a surcharge of £100 per annum.

d) Foster carers appointed by the Council to provide temporary custody or guardianship for children under the age of 15 years, whose parents are unable to look after them will be eligible to apply for an ESP at a reduced (concessionary) charge.
