A recent survey reveals significant variations in residents' parking permit fees across the UK, with Islington council charging £1,073 annually for some older diesel vehicles. Other boroughs like Camden and Tower Hamlets charge £741 and £497 respectively. The average cost for an annual permit among surveyed councils stood at £128, highlighting inconsistency in charges. While councils base fees on emissions, the method disproportionately affects owners of older, smaller, or diesel vehicles, leading to inequitable costs compared to larger electric cars. Moreover, families with multiple vehicles are often penalized with additional charges.
According to a nationwide survey, Islington council charges £1,073 annually for certain diesel vehicle parking permits, highlighting extreme fee variability across UK councils.
The survey conducted by Churchill Motor Insurance shows that parking permit costs in London vary dramatically, contradicting the idea of a standardized pricing model.
