Evening
The Lewisham M/C parking charges consultation is closing on 1 November.
As there isn't much time yet could you please all promote and share it as much as possible? E.g in any forums/facebook groups you happen to be part of. Below is the text from Save London Motorcycling and the link to the consultation should you need it:
Lewisham Council have announced plans to bring in parking charges for motorcycles. We are going to do everything we can to fight these proposals, but we need your help.
The main proposals are:
- Up to £125 per year for residents parking
- Up to £625 per year for a business pass
- NO daily/weekly pass available for commuters
You can let them know what you think by responding to the consultation here -

- The charges are too high and will price many motorcyclists out of working in the borough
- The fact that there is no daily pass will make commuting impossible for many who work in the borough
- Motorcycles take up far less space when parked and this is not reflected in the charges
- Motorcycles are part of the solution to climate change, air quality and congestion
- The charges are not proportionate based on the impact of motorcycles on climate change and air quality
