STOP CAMDEN MOTORCYCLE PARKING CHARGES
Nearly three years after they were first proposed Camden has again put forward plans for motorcycle parking charges. We know this is disappointing news but remember this is the fourth time Camden have tried to bring in charges, and every time riders have stopped them. We must act together to stop them again.
Camden's plans are;
parking permits for residents', businesses' and doctors' motorcycles charged as if they are a type of car
solo motorcycle bays charged at £2.60/day costing £600/year for a commuter
FoI reveals that 1 in 7 riders - those living in 'car-free developments' - face charges up to £950/year - more than any car
other residents' permits to nearly double from £75 to £146/year
only 1 permit allowed per person so those with both a car and a PTW will be forced to sell one
introducing motorcycle business permits at £419/year and doctors permits at £326
charges even for electric motorcycles - £75/year for residents, £300 for commuters, £500 for residents of 'car-free' developments
It appears Camden no longer plan to ban commuting with £6/hour and maximum stay limits in solo motorcycle bays, as they planned in 2020. This is one positive sign that they are listening, but many of the charges are even worse than last time. This is an outrageous attack on PTW riders and we need your help to fight the plans!
