In and around London a number of councils are starting to make efforts to reward those residents who have moved towards driving more economical and greener vehicles by reducing resident parking fees.

In Camden for example, these changes mean cheaper parking permits for people living in the area driving low emission vehicles and higher charges for vehicles that give off higher CO2 emissions.

These measures form a part of the broader package of initiatives around green transport which are being taking forward in and around London in an effort to support our environment.

Nevertheless, the number of cars on the roads continues to increase and with that comes the pressure of the provision of sufficient, secure car parking in London for commuters and visitors.

Initiatives by many forward thinking companies, such as offering interest free loans for their employees to purchase electric or the more traditional bicycles, along with the increase in the number bicycle storage facilities, go some way to helping; as does the car sharing schemes and car clubs that have sprouted up across the city.

All however, only go some way to helping ease the pressure on car parking in London so it is therefore up to the individual or employer to look at alternatives.

To source car parking in London on a regular basis demands booking space in advance through companies such as us at 24 7 Parking. We have access to both short and long term parking spaces, often at discounted rates throughout the city.
