Tower Hamlets parking policy is insane. The borough wants to attract business and professionals to live and work in it and thereby drag the rotten borough up but instead it has a ludicrous policy on car park free develpoments and then a policy of exorbitant charging.

I agree with the comment made above by Mr Khusein, The cost of a single business parking permit is incredible. We pay an average of 1300 a year to park our cars. Pay & display costs 2 p/h & for staff this means a they lose a significant chunk of their weeks earnings. Tower hamlets business is being choked of by extortionate parking charges and lack of parking. We have got to a point were we will be relocting very soon.

The most deprived borough in the uk and Tower Hamlets charge extortionate fees for everyone, especially when people have to commute to a place of work using public service permits or any other kind of permits for their cars, this is not really justified, as we are parked all day near to our place of work and not polluting. Whilst trucks, hgvs, and heavy polluters travel through the borough polluting the area and people who live work are paying the price.

This is where Tower Hamlets will lose out to attract people to work in the area. Where I work staff are leaving due to day time robbery hikes and can’t recruit, as potential employees are
put of, of the cost of just parking in Tower Hamlets. Not very well thought out.
