Who arranges the suspension
You apply to your council and pay for any parking suspension yourself. That matches term 4 of our quotation. We do not apply on your behalf.
When you book, tell us the bay location, the dates and the reference number, and we plan the van and the crew around it. If you are moving between two boroughs, you may need two suspensions: one at each address, each with its own fee and notice period.
