Parking on Kennington Park Estate

Hyde Housing has changed the way UKCPM manage parking on our Estate. These are the key points of the new SIPPI system which came into effect on 1 April 2025. 1.  Permit Prices Lower emission vehicles: ie. those that are ULEZ compliant, will be charged at £90 per year for the first car. Hyde social rent tenants: social rent tenants will receive a 20% discount. This means that for social residents with a ULEZ complaint car the cost of an annual permit is reduced to £72 per year for the first car. Additional vehicles and cars that are not ULEZ exempt: the permits for second cars and non-ULEZ complaint cars will increase to £200 per year (regardless of tenancy type).

Rents and service charges from 1 April 2017

Hyde is currently sending out notifications of our rents and service charges for the coming financial year. The Government has instructed Housing Associations like Hyde to reduce rents by 1% (roughly £1 per week) but there is no such restriction on service charges. The charges we have to pay from 1 April are estimates and we advise everyone to look at the figures very closely. Check them against last year’s bill if you still have it.

These statements are now several months overdue.
