Towing Away

Haringey Council works in partnership with Ontime Parking Solutions to tow away untaxed and illegally parked vehicles.

If your vehicle is parked illegally it may be towed to the car pound which is located at Western Road N22 6UG.

Note about Clamping

Haringey Council no longer clamps vehicles. However DVLA NCP - National Contractors clamp untaxed vehicles and Wings Securities clamp on private council land. If you suspect that your vehicle has been towed away you can call the London wide TRACE service on Tel 020 7747 4747 or call the car pound on Tel 020 8888 3322.
