Use
Traders or residents can apply for a voucher to allow traders to park in a CPZ if they are working on a nearby property. There is no limit to the number of vouchers that can be applied for per household. Traders’ vouchers are non-refundable or transferrable and are not for re-sale.
Businesses, or residents living within a CPZ who are having works done on their property, may purchase traders' vouchers, to be used by the tradesperson.
Traders’ vouchers can be purchased and used through your online account. Customers will no longer be sent paper vouchers through the post.
Traders’ vouchers can be activated immediately following approval of evidence, or for any time in the future. Please note, you may have to provide evidence before your vouchers can be activated. It is the responsibility of the resident and tradesperson to ensure the voucher has been correctly activated for the day/s the vehicle is parked. You are also liable for any duplications, incorrect activations and will not be entitled to a refund.
Vouchers are not transferrable between CPZs - they are only valid for use by traders in the CPZ of where the works will be carried out.
Eligibility
Any applications must be accompanied by either a work order or a quote for work, on company headed paper (PC screen shots are unacceptable), which must include the address where the works are taking place.
If you choose to proceed with your application, we will ask you to pay the full price for the traders’ vouchers you have selected. Failure to supply evidence within 30 days, or where a fraudulent application has been made, will result in the application being rejected, and the traders’ vouchers will be cancelled without any refund due to you.
Size of vehicle
Your voucher can be used on either a motorcycle, passenger vehicle or a light goods vehicle with no more than 8 seats. The overall height should not exceed 2.3 metres. The length should not exceed 5.5 metres.
Qualification
The works to be done is for residents who live within a London Borough of Lambeth Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ).
I understand that purchasing traders’ vouchers does not guarantee a parking space and the council is not liable for any theft or damage to the vehicle or the contents or fittings of any such vehicle while it is parked wholly within a valid bay with a valid traders’ voucher.
Suspensions
From time to time, it may be necessary to suspend a parking bay, this is normally due to road works being carried out by the utility companies, such as gas or electricity. During the period for which the bay is suspended, parking is not permitted in the bay. Even if a valid voucher is displayed / exists a PCN will still be issued, and the vehicle may be towed away. It is the voucher holder's responsibility to ensure that the bay in which their vehicle is parked is not suspended during the time their vehicle is there.
