Visitor parking permits

Agaton Sax

Erm, does anyone have a couple of single-day passes that I can buy off them? For Haringey? Would be ever so grateful. (Lockdown qualifier: it's for a plumber to install a boiler, I'm not having visitors!)

What's your street parking code displayed on the lampposts as there may be different permits for different zones...?

Just checked and it's a Finsbury Park B (FPB) CPZ

Not sure if helpful, but we swapped from the scratch-off passes to RingGo - think it works in both Islington and Haringey.

It's 50p per half hour and we've used it for plumbers etc, as well as guests (pre-COVID) - you just need the make of their vehicle and the reg number.

A pound an hour, I take it that's on the Haringey side?

Ah thanks CityOfSin, I'd heard about the phone service but didn't the name, cheers

RingGo appear to have hoovered up most of the other parking companies and provide for most boroughs now, it is a doddle to use if you download the app.

It's much cheaper to get vouchers - paper or electronic. The Ringo app is a ripoff.

Really? I had the 3-hour scratch-off parking vouchers (10 three-hour vouchers for £33.00), so it works out much the same per hour, except with RingGo, I can choose the amount of time, add on more etc.

(I swear I don't work for RingGo!)

£2.25 for half an hour in Corbyn St seems a lot. And parking for any visiting tradespeople with vans is banditry - £4 for 15 minutes ... (Yes, I've just been looking at receipts to check that my last comment wasn't just a bit of random grumpiness.)

With the RingGo app, it's important that you set yourself up as a "resident", and then book using the "permits" tab in the app. Otherwise you're definitely paying more than vouchers.

For example, using the permits section of the RingGo app lowers the cost of 30 minutes in my zone from £1.85 to £0.50, which is cheaper than the paper visitor vouchers (currently a book of twenty 30 minute vouchers is £12, so £0.60 per voucher).

That's worth knowing, thanks!

Yes, as a Corbyn Street resident permits are 50p/30m
