International Removals from Greenwich
Greenwich frees a second bay on day one for a resident moving house
A few short questions. Nothing is sent until you check and confirm.
What does a bay suspension cost in Greenwich?
The council says “It costs £66.40 per day for each bay.” “You’ll also need to pay a £66.40 non-refundable administration fee.” It asks for notice: “You should apply 10 working days before you need the suspension.”
There is a rule written for house moves. “You can ask to suspend a second parking bay if you’re a resident and moving house.” It adds “This is free on the first day of the suspension.” and “You’ll be charged for both bays on the second day.” The wording is for residents, so a business should not assume it applies.
What do you tell the council, and what if the date moves?
You tell the council when you need the suspension, how long for and why, and a business adds a street plan. The council says “We’ll email you to tell you if we approve or reject your application.” and, if it approves, “we’ll put up signs announcing the date and reason for the suspension”.
Cancelling costs money: “you’ll have to pay a 20% cancellation fee or £66.40, whichever is more”. You can cancel up to the day before the bay is due to be suspended, so book once the date is firm.
What if a car is parked in the suspended bay?
Greenwich is plain about its limits. It may issue a penalty charge notice, and it lists what it cannot do: “stop people ignoring the signs and parking illegally” and “remove illegally parked vehicles”. Report a vehicle to Customer Services on 020 8921 4339, and ask the removal firm in advance what it will do if the bay is taken.
Big event days in the borough close roads separately, and the London event days page covers them. Emission zone charges and lorry rules are on the London removals page, red routes are in the London parking lookup, and Kingston and Westminster show how other councils differ. The London guide lists the rest.
