Parking on council estates
If you wish to park on a council estate which is participating in a Parking Permit Scheme you must display a Resident Permit, a Daily Visitor Voucher or Scratch Card along with your valid Tax Disc or Statutory Off Road Notice (SORN). For more information go to the Lambeth Living website.

How to contact us by post, in person, by phone or email.
We operate three car parks, located in Brixton, Streatham and Norwood.
CCTV cameras help our Parking Services team to enforce both parking and traffic contraventions. This is one of the many measures that help to reduce congestion and pollution, as well as improving the reliability and punctuality of public transport.
We deal with the maintenance and enforcement of controlled parking zones.

A ticket that is issued by the council for parking, moving traffic and bus lane contraventions is known as a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN). We use Parking Attendants, CCTV cameras and smart cars to issue PCNs.
Clamping of vehicles on most of Lambeth's roads ceased on 1 April 2008. However, clamping will continue on Lambeth housing estate roads. Vehicles parked illegally in a parking bay may be removed 30 minutes after a Penalty Charge Notice is issued. For other parking offences, your vehicle may be removed if it is illegally parked any time after a Penalty Charge Notice has been issued.
