https://www.2012gamesparkingpermits.com/greenwich/verificationcheck/default.aspx?B=0If you are a resident in any of the boroughs hosting the Olympics please don't get caught out by the parking restrictions being imposed on areas close to the events.
Certain areas have been selected and any vehicle parked within the boundary of that area without a permit will be deemed as parked illegally and will receive a parking ticket and possibly towed away.
Our managing agents have liaised with Greenwich Council and they have confirmed they will be patrolling the development where I live to enforce the scheme despite the road being private and only accessed through electric gates.
Our permits arrived today and it is quite easy to apply.
Seb Coe dosen't need any more money, he will probably be a billionaire after these games and before the soap box merchants appear for his defence his ego trip is restricting Londoners, he won't personally receive the revenue from fines but has more than likely been paid to sit on a committee deciding our fate. He hasn't give a thought to the people of London who are going to struggle to travel around the capital because of the Olympic road lane and public transport restrictions or the affect it will have on local businesses that are already struggling to survive through this recession, the country will benefit from the revenue but it might be to late to help some businesses.
Please use the link to prevent you getting a parking ticket.

Ordinary people are getting shafted because of the World Best Pharmacist championships.
Meanwhile we squander millions and set ourselves up for terrorist attack while patients in NHS hospitals die of thirst because of "lack of resources."
Whoopy do!
Got some free visitor permits valid for that week if anyone wants them
It seems to me that broadly you find off street parking or there's no chance.
Of course the club know and should be offered/seeking compensation from Locog for loss of business. A cynic might suggest that the club have not highlighted the problem because less people would buy tickets to the matches. Presumably the first one to be hit is the Capital One game vs Orient?
I'll have to miss matches because of this fascist imposition.
I wish I had the guts my ancestors had to deal with fascism properly.
They've stitched it up for about 3 miles around the ground!
Bastards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ha ha road has also been closed now till September, the whole area is becoming a joke
Bloody Olympics, can't they just cancel events that coincide with our home games?
Do you know - do the restrictions only apply on games days? As the first 2 league home games are between the Olympics and Paraolympics and by the time we play the Parasites on September 14, and the Paraolympics are over, will I be able to park on-street for those 3 games?
This is taken from the sign put up outside my house.
It also says that if you park in this area without a valid resident, business or visitor parking permit you could be subject to a parking fine and your vehicle being removed. These temporary measures are to protect parking for residents and business during the games.
So going to have to get my lads/wife to drive me over to the standard, and then walk up from the valley and meet them at the sun in the sands, or a variation on that theme.
