Overview
- The council used a relocation vehicle on December 10 to move a blue Rolls-Royce with Saudi plates several streets from the Chancery Rosewood hotel on Grosvenor Square.
- Other high-end cars parked on the pavement outside the five-star hotel were moved by their owners after enforcement teams arrived, according to the council.
- Westminster says it has been inundated with resident complaints about obstructive pavement parking and antisocial supercar behavior in the area.
- Officials report penalty charge notices have been ineffective because many vehicles are foreign-registered and recovering costs is difficult, with some countries not sharing driver data.
- Both Westminster and Transport for London rely on private agencies for enforcement, and the council says it will continue the intensified action as part of a broader, ongoing crackdown on illegally parked supercars.
