Similar problems... First, using a mobile device, it only returned one address for my postcode. On a PC (using Edge browser) it found my address but, despite our electoral role info not changing for about 10 years, my address wasn't verified. I had to upload a council tax bill (which I guess was manually checked) then a few days later I was able to order a permit - wasn't notified, just had to check.


A bad joke of a system.

Yep same here - yesterday unverified and could only buy a monthly pass. Tonight logged on again (noticed that DOB and Sex from profile has been lost - definitely added when account was created) and went to try to buy a permit again. Asked for the Council Tax Number (which again I had added yesterday) and this time it was verified straight away and I was able to get the annual permit. This system is shocking, there is no way it has been properly tested. I work in software development and there is absolutely no way this would get through our QA process.
A friend has been repeatedly trying to buy a permit online. AFter many unsuccessful attempts they phoned the council to be told that the system does not work with apple products (iphones or computers). Amazing how they would be using software that rules out a large portion of applications.
I couldn't do this online and resented having to make security changes on my computer to let Southwark permanently access my card details so I phoned 03448002736 (helpful people) and I have a code to take to a newsagent and pay that way. It has taken up much too much time and you can't even get a little square of blue paper to put on the windscreen for proof for that ?125!

As I get a disabled blue badge discount I suspect that things will be even more complicated although things have not changed since the CPZ went live started.


No doubt there are no details on the system.


As people are "working from home" details and answers will be thin on the ground.


Thanks for the number

Thank you! I've been failing to add my card for a week and was just on the phone to them trying to get help (to no avail) but then saw this post. IE works. Hopefully the lady on the phone will relay that to any other callers as she was only aware of an issue with iOS.

    • Indeed ianr, I didn't have time to include all Royal Mail options, thanks for that extra bit, they have been spot on for me, I use them a lot and have never had any issues with delivery, touch wood!
    • People are switching to electric cars irrespective of fuel prices.  100s of millions that could be spent on hospitals and schools for example have been lost due to fuel duty freezes and a supposedly temporary reduction.  Fuel is relatively cheap at the moment.  With a stonking majority when is it time to rightly take on motorists? Farming, I simply referred to Paul Johnson of the IFS who knows more about the economy that you, I and Truss will ever know. Food?  Au contraire.  It's too cheap, too poor quality and our farmers are squeezed by the supermarkets and unnatural desire to keep it cheap.  A lot less takeaways and more home cooking with decent often home produced, food should benefit most in our society. Be honest you do t like Labour. 
    • In fact there was a promotional leaflet came through the letter box today, for sending by RM's parcel post by buying online.  There are also options mentioned for having the labels printed  at a Collect+ store or at a Parcel Locker.  More info at https://www.royalmail.com/.
    • Is it? Let's see  Farming is a tough gig with increasingly lower returns, if farms have to sell off land to pay inheritance tax it will reduce their ability to survive. Which in real terms could mean more farm land lost and more reliance on imported food which sees money flowing out, not in to the country.  But I guess as long as you get cheap food that doesn't concern you 😉  Lol "what about the cars"  again Mal... like a broken record....  Governments know that squeezing car drivers for more fuel duty will drive down income from taxes as people switch to electric, which would leave them with a black hole in income. Guess the fuel duty is a fine balancing act tiĺl enough electric cars have been sold to raise tax revenue from their use.
