Have your say on the future of parking in Hackney
Results updated 8 Dec 2022
Following the close of the Parking and Enforcement Plan (PEP) listening exercise on parking permit prices, feedback from both the PEP consultation and listening exercise were considered. A report was then written which sets out the recommendations and the draft PEP was updated to its final form. The report and PEP was presented to the Council’s Cabinet and was approved in October 2022. The approved PEP was published in November 2022 and can be read here. The cabinet report is available to read here.
The PEP 2022-27 outlines the key visions for parking services. These are:
-
Supporting the creation of sustainable streets for everyone, by re-prioritising more of our kerbside space to support greening in the borough, and sustainable transport.
-
Providing high-quality, customer-focused services that respond to the needs of our residents, businesses and visitors.
-
Encouraging motorists to choose active travel and sustainable travel options, a switch to cleaner vehicles with a reduction in private vehicle ownership.
-
Consolidating a fair, proportionate and transparent enforcement service to deliver high levels of compliance, and robustly tackle fraud.
-
Delivering a consistent approach to parking products and services on all council-managed estates.
To see all recommendations and policies, read the PEP 2022-27 here.
Please note that some of the proposals which were consulted on have been changed following the consultation. Please refer to the PEP 2022-27 for the final recommendations which are due to be implemented.
Overview
We would like your views on Hackney Council’s proposed Parking and Enforcement Plan (referred to from here as the PEP). The PEP is the Council’s primary parking policy and strategy document governing parking related decisions. We have developed a new draft (see here with appendices here), covering the period 2021-26, and we want to hear from local residents, businesses, and visitors about the proposals set out in this document.
What is in the PEP?
The PEP is broken down into a number of sections that relate to our key policy areas. Within these sections the Council’s proposed approach to each policy area is outlined along with some of the key procedures and processes that influenced our drafting of the proposals. The sections are:
- Sustainable transport
- Customer service
- Parking zones
- Permit and vouchers
- Parking provision and services
- Compliance and enforcement
- Crime, fraud and misuse
- Consultations
- Equality and diversity
Within these sections there are a number of related policy recommendations. These are key aspects of the PEP in ensuring that parking policy balances competing parking needs and is ready for the demands and challenges of the future. Many of the consultation questions you will find in the questionnaire will relate to these policy recommendations.
What is Hackney Council’s vision for parking?
The PEP 2021-26’s vision is to:
-
Support the creation of sustainable streets for everyone, by reprioritising more of our kerb space to support greening the borough, and sustainable transport
-
Provide high quality, customer focused services that respond to the needs of our residents, businesses and visitors
-
Encourage motorists to choose active travel and sustainable travel options, a switch to cleaner vehicles with a reduction in private vehicle ownership
-
Consolidate a fair, proportionate and transparent enforcement service to deliver high levels of compliance, and to robustly tackle fraud
-
Deliver a consistent approach to parking products and services on all Hackney Housing estates.
In this version of the PEP there is a strong focus on issues relating to sustainability. We have been consistent in our approach to tackling issues that affect our environment, including the climate emergency and poor air quality, which we have a public health duty to address. This plan and the policies contained within it seek to significantly reduce CO2 emissions and particulate matter originating from vehicles in Hackney.
Who should participate in the consultation?
Parking policy affects everyone in the borough, not just parking permit holders. Therefore we would like residents, businesses and workers in the borough as well as visitors to participate.

What happens next?
Following the closure of the consultation on Monday 15 November 2021, responses will be collated during Winter 2021-22. The results will then be analysed and a report written setting out the Council’s recommendations. The report will then be submitted for approval to the Council’s Cabinet, elected representatives of the people of Hackney, for their meeting in Spring 2022.
