INTRODUCTION OF EMISSIONS-BASED CHARGING, AMENDMENTS TO PARKING CHARGES, AND CHARGES FOR ADDITIONAL RESIDENTS’ PERMITS

1. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that Westminster City Council proposes to make the following Orders under sections 6, 32, 35, 45, 46, 49 and 124 of and Part IV of Schedule 9 to the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, as amended:

• The City of Westminster (A Zone) (Amendment No. *) Order 202*;
• The City of Westminster (D Zone) (Amendment No. *) Order 202*;
• The City of Westminster (Off-Street Parking Places) (Paddington Recreation Ground) (Amendment No. *) Order 202*;

• The City of Westminster (Parking Places) (B Zone) (Amendment No. *) Order 202*;
• The City of Westminster (Parking Places) (C Zone) (Amendment No. *) Order 202*;
• The City of Westminster (Parking Places) (E Zone) (Amendment No. *) Order 202*;
• The City of Westminster (Parking Places) (F Zone) (Amendment No. *) Order 202*; and
• The City of Westminster (Parking Places) (G Zone) (Amendment No. *) Order 202*.

2. The general effect of the Orders would be to:

(a) introduce a new emissions-based charging structure within the City of Westminster, as set out in the Schedule to this Notice, for the following types of parking places:

(i) pay-by-phone parking places (including on-street pay-by-phone parking places and those pay-by-phone parking places in the Paddington Recreation Ground Car Park, but not including coach pay-by-phone parking places, market traders’ parking places, motorcycle parking places or taxi pay-by-phone parking places);

(ii) residents’ parking places; and

(iii) shared-use parking places, as set out in sections A1, A2, B1, B2, E1 and E2 of the Schedule to this Notice;

(b) increase the charges for:

(i) parking cards; and
(ii) trade permits, as set out in sections C and D of the Schedule to this Notice; and

(c) introduce new issuance arrangements for residents’ permits such that a single permit would no longer list the vehicle registration marks of up to two vehicles - instead, each vehicle would require a separate permit, up to a maximum of three registered vehicles per individual, with the second and third permits incurring additional charges, as set out in section F of the Schedule to this Notice.

Please note that the above proposals do not affect parking places or permit issuance arrangements on Westminster’s housing estates.
