Resident permit question

Our resident permit expires tomorrow but we have not received the new one yet. Can a parking warden see that we have applied for a new one when they scan our current permit or is it linked to the registration?In other words ... will we get a ticket?

I live in Hounslow. Paid for renewed permit from July and have not received a permit. The acknowledgment email is in the car window and we have not received a ticket.

In LBHF you get two weeks grace - though I know that's not useful for you Chris as you live in LBH.I'd be slightly surprised that LBH issue permits that don't run to the end of the month ... unless it's a temporary permit for a new vehicle?

Because Chiswick spans two boroughs, Ealing and Hounslow. One gives paper permits, the other does not.

I do live in Chiswick so I don’t understand why some get paper permits and others don’t

"There are no longer any physical paper permits issued"Are you in Ealing? Hounslow are definitely issuing paper permits - I received mine last week. Chris lives in Hounslow so he should get a paper permit in due course.

There are no longer any physical paper permits issued. Your registration number will be in the system and should be ok. I had big problems when applied for mine in July as I could not register on the portal despite password resets and temporary passwords being issued . I eventually paid over the the phone and the only email I got was a receipt for the amount paid. I never received an email confirming my permit had been issued. I haven’t had a ticket so so I assume all is ok

Jo Biddolph is on the case and has informed the Parking People that our permit is on the way.

In addition to a windscreen note you might try emailinghounslow.permits@nsl.co.uk to enquire about your permit’s status and any grace period info (if you live in the Hounslow part of Chiswick, that is)! 🤞🏻

You used to get 2 weeks grace, but don’t hold me to that. But, as mentioned above, I would put a note in the window to alert the warden to the awaited permit

That's great, thanks all!

I would leave a note on the dashboard saying " New permit applied for, awaiting delivery". You normally get some grace.

Tomorrow is Saturday and most CPZ restrictions are Monday through Friday in Ealing and Hounslow. So you may have a weekend reprieve.The permit is linked to car registration, not a previous permit.
