General Parking InformationTenants understand that the increasing use of cars is creating environmental, health and safety problems on many housing estates.
Many of the estates were built before motor vehicles became a common form of transport for people and there is often no space for cars to be parked.
We are committed to making Southwark a greener and cleaner place. We have been left with no alternative but to place controls on the access and use of cars on housing estates and the conditions of tenancy contain rules about car parking.
There are garages and parking sites for rent in a number of estates and areas of Southwark. Each area housing office has a waiting list of tenants who would like to rent a garage or parking site. If you would like information about garages to let, please contact your area housing office.
The rules about parking on housing estates are different from the public roads.
However, the rules about driving speeds and safe driving still apply. We have developed the parking schemes on individual estates after consulting tenant representatives.
These local parking schemes set out where tenants can park and mark out areas of land where cars should not be parked. These are marked with yellow lines and crosshatched yellow lines.
Tenants should get permits to park on their own estates. The local schemes give priority to local residents, but where there is enough space the scheme can include carers. Not all housing estates have a parking scheme. You need to contact your area housing office about the arrangements in place for your estate.
