I was looking on line for motorcycle parking space in Greenwich and discovered that in the Royal Borough of Greenwich, which is a big borough, under their controlled parking orders motorcycles can park free of charge in anypay and display car bay and any business permit holder car bays.
Note: Not on metered parking bays.
You have to wonder how many other boroughs have similar exemptions.
How about we all check our own borough and feed in to the forum whether they have similar exemptions?
This could make finding somewhere to park in a new to you bit of London so much easier if similar exemptions are in place.
Kingston allow parking in residents bays - was verbally told to park at right angles to the kerb (not sure if they can enforce that) to be sure not to get a ticket.
Yeah, also H&F (as said above) though locking it up to a lamp post is highly recommended (Got a scoot knicked there)
Like whatisname said, “good info on that table, Giuliano.”
However, there had to be one didn’t there, the Bromley info is wrong. I can take you to a couple of Bromley owned car parks where there are no free bike bays. Not that it matters too much.
They have changed the barriers so you can’t get past the ends of them anyway unless you take a ticket. So you take one of those to lift the barrier, go into the car park. Guess what? No marked bays. Ho hum. So you park in a bit of wasted space and then you have to get out.
The only way of doing that is to use the ticket you got on entrance to buy a pass, at car rate, to get out. In theory you can ask the guy in the exit booth to lift the barrier, but that assumes there is a guy in the booth.
Small wonder that despite being only 3 or 4 miles from Bromley town centre, I’ve not shopped there for 2 years.
Indeed it is…remember a Wembley resident telling me I couldn’t park outside their house and that they were going to get a traffic warden…and telling them exactly where to go
