I, too, got the email reminder this week about resident visitor parking permits. I was surprised, as I had assumed that this facility would be automatically linked to the timing of the annual resident parking permit. So I renewed it as requested and was surprised again, when the confirmation appeared on screen, which said that it was now valid to September 2021.Clearly Ealing Council need to get a better grip on the randomness of the new PayByPhone renewal system. Although overall the system seems to work well and is more straightforward than Ringo for visitor parking, in that it only needs a registration plate number, where Ringo asked for make, model and colour of the vehicle.
