Towing Away
Haringey Council works in partnership with On-Time 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 0870 444 6247. |
If your vehicle has been removed by the Council you must go to the car pound at Western Road, N22 with two different forms of identification as proof of address and ownership of the vehicle and pay the parking ticket and release fee by credit/debit card or cash.
It is advised that you get your vehicle released as quickly as possible or we will charge you for storage of the vehicle.
