Lewisham Council have announced plans to bring in parking charges for motorcycles. We are going to do everything we can to fight these proposals, but we need your help.
The main proposals are:
- Up to £125 per year for residents parking
- Up to £625 per year for a business pass
- NO daily/weekly pass available for commuters
You can let them know what you think by responding to the consultation here:
The deadline is the 1st November.
If you are responding here are some points you may wish to make:
- The charges are too high and will price many motorcyclists out of working in the borough
- The fact that there is no daily pass will make commuting impossible for many who work in the borough
- Motorcycles take up far less space when parked and this is not reflected in the charges
- Motorcycles are part of the solution to climate change, air quality and congestion
- The charges are not proportionate based on the impact of motorcycles on climate change and air quality
If you live or work in Lewisham and would like to get more involved with this campaign, please contact Greater London MAG directly.
Camden have still not brought forward their proposals again, despite saying they would in July this year. Our campaign has massively disrupted their plans. With your help we can do the same in Lewisham and stop them bringing in these discriminatory charges.
