Waltham Forest Council is seeking to eliminate the 15-minute free parking option in pay-to-park bays and the free parking period from 1pm to 2pm to encourage less driving and enhance air quality. This decision is met with strong community opposition, with approximately 90% of business owners and 93% of respondents in a consultation against the change. Over 6,000 people signed a petition opposing the plans. The council's move is aimed at promoting active transportation despite public transport constraints in the northern part of the borough, particularly affecting Chingford residents.
