Stay safe in very hot weather

Very hot weather is expected for the next few days. A red heat-health alert (the highest level) is in place for London on Wednesday and Thursday.  

Hot weather can be dangerous and can cause serious illness. Stay safe and look out for others who may be particularly vulnerable to the heat. Read advice on GOV.UK

Cool spaces

There are local cool spaces that are free and open to everyone. Visit them to rest, drink water and stay cool. Find a cool space near you

Access Islington hubs 

North and South Access Islington hubs are closed due to the hot weather. The Central Hub is open for urgent, in-person support, until 4pm today (Wednesday 24 June) but avoid travelling unless it is essential. 

You can still access our services online and you can call us on 020 7527 2000 if you need to speak to someone.

Suspend a parking bay

Apply to temporarily stop anyone being able to use a parking bay or multiple parking bays, for example for maintenance work, construction, filming or special events.

A parking bay may be a large stretch of parking area and may have more than one parking space. We can only suspend parking spaces on the public highway.

We cannot suspend yellow lines, zebra crossings or keep clear areas. We are not responsible for suspensions on red routes or private roads.

Day two, day three, and any extra days exclude Sundays and bank holidays. 

Each parking space is five metres.

Day 2 £83.00 per space

Parking suspensions are free.

Advanced warning notices

We display notices to give advance warning to other parking users before a suspension begins. 

Where possible, these notices will be displayed on streets for residential parking with 10 days' notice.

How much notice to give

If you do not give the required amount of notice, there is an additional administration fee of £100. This is at the discretion of the reviewing suspensions officer and your request may be declined.

  • For Pay By Phone parking bays, you must apply at least 10 days before you want the suspension to begin.
  • For all other types of parking bay, you must apply at least 14 days before you want the suspension to begin.
  • If you’re applying for an extension, you must apply and pay at least 4 working days before the current suspension ends.

How to apply for a parking suspension

  • If you want to suspend parking bays for a community event, funeral or wedding, you may need to contact us first. Check what you need to do for community events, funerals, and weddings and other useful information.
  • A parking bay can contain more than one space. You must only suspend the number of spaces you need.
  • You will be asked to upload information about the parking space or spaces you want to suspend. Please prepare this information before starting the application to make sure you give us all the relevant information. We need to know the exact locations and recommend you provide a screenshot of a map, such as our parking map. This will help us process your application quickly.
  • If you are applying for multiple parking suspensions, you can complete the online application once but please upload information about all the exact locations, dates and times of the suspensions.
  • Read the terms and conditions.
