24 July 2002(posted 7939 days ago)Visitors' Parking Permits
In November 2000 Lambeth Parking services confirmed to me that unused permits in the 1998-2000 series could be exchanged for 2000-2002 series permits at Lambeth's parking shops.I wrote to Lambeth recently to ask if the same concession would be given for unused permits at the end of 2002. I have received a reply dated 22 July - from Anna Miller, tel 0207 926 0587 - confirming that any permits still unused on expiry in December 2002 may be exchanged for an equivalent number of visitors' permits valid from 2003.
The letter says, however that in future visitors' permits will only be valid for the years of issue, and there will be no exchange or refund for unused permits. I cannot see why the policy has been changed, and it may be worth taking this up through the KOV forum or direct with the new political administration; but at least people will know the position and make their purchases of visitors' permits accordingly.
