A new free ‘Care at Home’ permit has been launched for carers in Haringey to visit residents without having to pay for a parking permit.
Working with residents across the borough, Haringey Council have taken strong steps to ease the pressure on individuals who need vital home support and care on a daily basis.
Residents also helped to develop the application process that makes it simple for them to apply and removes the need for additional assessments or intrusive questions.
The Care at Home permit will last for three years for residents that qualify in their Controlled Parking Zone.
Cllr Seema Chandwani, Cabinet Member for Resident Services & Tackling Inequality, said:
Residents often tell me of the stress and cost of making sure their carer has a parking permit so they can park outside their home to deliver vital care needs.
We have worked hard with these residents to understand their needs and have developed this new permit to help them whilst also taking anti-fraud measures.
Co-producing services and solutions with our residents is a top priority. This development is a perfect example of how working with our residents and partners in the health and care sector can lead to improved and more equitable outcomes.
