To support the close family of the deceased to assist with funeral arrangements a temporary adaptation of parking enforcement can be applied for.
On the day of the funeral, parking restrictions may be adapted for a single and specific location, as agreed in the application confirmation.
Cost: There is no charge for a funeral parking adaption.
How to apply
- Send an email to Parking.EnforcementRequests@newham.gov.uk
- You will then be sent an email with the application form within it.
- Complete the application form by replying to the email and attach either:
- a copy of the death certificate
or
- a letter from the funeral directors with the address of where the funeral is taking place or leaving from.
It is advised that you apply as early as possible ahead of the funeral. Applications sent less than 24 hours before the funeral are unlikely to be approved.
What happens next
Your application will be reviewed, and you will receive an email confirming if your request has been approved or rejected.
All funeral attendees are asked to park considerately to ensure access is maintained for other road users. Only on-street parking rules will be adapted. All other parking and traffic rules will still apply.
Find more information on traffic signs and rules.
Any vehicles that are parked outside of marked bays, are in a restricted area, are causing an obstruction or are dangerously parked, may receive a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) or be towed.
For alternative parking please find information on car parks and on-street parking in Newham.
