Waste service strike

A number of Tower Hamlets Council frontline waste service workers and street cleansers will be going on strike from 18 September to 1 October due to a national pay dispute.  

Despite the council working to maintain services for residents, the strike will impact collections and cleansing across the borough. We apologise in advance for the disruption this will cause.

Vehicle off the road

If you would like tell us your vehicle is off the road then you can go to our parking contact form and upload a document from a garage to confirm that your vehicle is off the road and for how long. 

We will aim to get back to you within three working days. During this time, you will need to make other parking arrangements, such as visitor vouchers or daily temporary permits

What are paperless permits?

Our new parking permits are ‘virtual’, paperless permits. This means that you will not receive a physical permit to put in your car. Instead, parking officers will be able to check on the system if a car has a valid permit.
