permit parking, Slough

Haseeb122

Time has come up to renew the resident parking permits for our cars and we plan to move out in a month or so. However, there's 2 things to note

They cleverly increased the pricing after introducing the scheme last year right after everyone signed on to the permits

Also They have noted that all permits are non refundable - surely if I don't need to use it 11 months I should get refund?

Please advise as this bankrupt council thinks we are made of money

Best bet not renew & park off road if possible. 

Is permit registered to car registration or house?

What happens if you change the car half way through - do they amend the permit or do you have to buy a new one?

I assume you are paying for 12 months - so if you don't use it you get no benefit

This is the response from the thieves: Please note that all permits are non-refundable or exchangeable.

So, if I change car I guess have to get a new permit for 12 months and I lose remaining months on previous permit.

The permit is registered to house and car as per my understanding.

They ask for proof of vehicle (v5c) and address - utility bill. Max 2 cars per household

There's no off road parking available. I don't really want to renew as it's 75 for first car and then 125 additional for second car and if we are moving out in a month it's a big amount of money down the drain

We major on unregulated private parking companies. If you are dealing with a council, you'd be better off taking this to the Free Traffic Legal Advice forum at https://ftla.uk

I think Slough outsource parking - so your gripe maybe with some other thieves?

Have you spoken to your local councillor?

Councillor has been spoken to but I will try again regarding this specific issue.

And yes it's been outsourced to Saba parking

So, when you Google & look at results such as: 'Park at my House' or JustPark, there's nothing nearby that you could use for a month? There must be somewhere.  Talk to a local business with underused parking behind, and ask if you can rent a space for a month?

Or: ask on a local neighbour's online group for visitor parking permits some may have spare?
