<p>Thank you for following up with the Council, Roslyn and Katie. </p>
<p>So, I'm left to conclude that what I dug up still holds true, that the clause about refunds has not been revoked. </p>
<p>Of course it could also be that the staff are as tied up in knots and as confused as we are and it all depends on who happens to respond to you and how they're feeling that day. So, as you say, Katie, it is worth pressing your point. In the meantime, whatever the legal status is, the effect of this…</p>

<p>The plot thickens. I have just received an email from an 'Information Governance Officer' at Haringey Council that says:</p>
<p>"<em>The Council’s policy and legal position is set out in the Traffic Management Orders, which stipulate that <strong>Visitor Permit holders may ask for refund of expired Visitors Permits and are entitled to a refund of the charge made at the time of purchase. There is no requirement for exchanges of expired permits.</strong></em></p>

There is no requirement for exchanges of expired permits.</strong></em></p>
<p><em>We are in the process of <strong>removing any reference to ‘We have a no refund or exchanges policy for visitor permits’ from our visitors permit section on our webpage</strong> as this is what was identified as the culprit surrounding the confusion in the first place. Moving forwards, this will hopefully clarify both our position and yours as a residents on this matter.</em></p>
<p><em>In regards to your existing visitor permits, providing they are in respect of your address within the respective Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) we of course will enable residents to use these for the remaining time left on them (this includes the 2 hour permits). If the permits that you withhold do not get used up and expire then as mentioned above you are entitled to a refund of the charge made at the time of purchase. All you would need to do is return the unused permits to our permits team at the address below and briefly explain that you would like a refund, it may be helpful if you could leave your contact details so that they can contact you if necessary.</em></p>

<p>It seems they will actually exchange permits (rather than refund if requested), despite the info above, from the experience of others, and also according to a separate email I got from the Permits team. Arses and Elbows comes to mind! :)</p>

<p>Wow that was good. I'm still waiting for mine. I finally got sent a new residents number after my email 9 days later as apparently my original one did not work. I then applied online and money was taken on the 6th and still nothing. My builders have been and gone and replaced the roof in the time that this has taken. Really poor. I will send my other ones back as suggested though. Thanks all</p>

<p>This route, though the councillor, doesn't seem related to TMO, though I did quote that. What a palaver. You can't hand in the envelope at Alexandra HOuse. Has to be taken to Customer Services in WG library, so just went there, waited in line a bit but did eventually get a receipt. They need to get their story straight on this as there's quite a variation in responses from different staff.

<p><em>Dear Councillor Mitchell </em></p>
<p><em>Thank you for your email.</em></p>
<p><em>I can confirm that expired visitor vouchers can either be refunded or exchanged.</em></p>
<p><em>The expired vouchers should be sent to the following address, marked for the attention of Mayglen Griffith, with a covering letter and the replacements will be mailed to your constituent usually within 5 working days. </em></p>

<p>I've always rather liked the Crouch End parking restrictions. If a system id designed to stop all day parking stays, then the system works admirably. But, I have to admit, I'd never thought about the consequences for visitor parking costs.</p>
