Clamping has become a thing of the past on Lambeth's streets.
From now on, people who park illegally in Lambeth will no longer face their
vehicle being clamped – except in extreme circumstances – after
the Labour administration decided the penalty was too harsh and caused too much
inconvenience to motorists.
The move marks a further stage in Labour’s bid to create a fairer parking
policy, and follows on from scrapping targets for issuing parking tickets, a
Lambeth Liberal Democrat policy which Labour reversed when they won control
of the council in 2006. This change resulted in a 25% drop in resident appeals
against unfair tickets.
Councillor Sally Prentice, Labour Cabinet for Environment, said: "We want
a parking policy that is firm but fair. This is another step towards creating
a more proportionate and balanced parking system and a step away from the unfair
policies of the past."
