Resident Parking Permit Improvements
Over the past year and a half, Kensington and Chelsea Council has introduced virtual (paperless) parking permits as a temporary measure in response to the Covid 19 pandemic.

School Street Feedback Survey
School Streets temporarily remove motor traffic outside a school by creating timed road closures during school drop off and pick up times. They are a well-established way of helping more families to walk, cycle, scoot or wheel to school.
