Purpose

In February 2024, and following
a
prior public consultation, Camden Council’s Cabinet approved 14
proposed changes to the current Camden highways
(‘on-street’) parking fees, charges, terms and
conditions, subject to statutory traffic management order (TMO)
consultations. The aim of these proposals was to ensure that the
way parking is facilitated contributes to meeting the
borough’s highly ambitious sustainable transport, road
safety, climate change, air quality and public health
goals.

 

12 out of the 14 proposed changes
were implemented following a TMO consultation (Phase 1) in
July/August 2024.

 

This report provides a summary of
Phase 2 of the TMO consultations, undertaken in February/March 2025
for the remaining 2 out of 14 proposed changes which relate to
motorcycle charges and changes to scratch-card type Visitor
permits.
