Anybody know where to get these individually in the UK?

I just got a permit to park the car outside Jen's flat, but Haringey Council didn't have any plastic holders left.

I did find these, but it's a promotional printing service, and not available singly. I don't fancy forking out £112.50 for one. They are the right type, though.

Local dealer/garage/taxi service not be willing to just give you one?

Or phone that company and say you would like a single sample before going through with your bulk order.

Of course, I could get some printed up with the empeg logo on them, and spread the cost that way. Would anyone be interested? Obviously, this would probably be specific to the UK. The cost would depend on how many people wanted one.

Nice idea, but its advertising you've possibly got an empeg in the car.

I'm assuming you've tried Halfords or similiar?

Yep. They've only got tax disc holders. The parking permit is square, not round. They couldn't think of anywhere else to get them. Looking at it, probably I'd be best going to a garage and seeing if they've got any as promotional items.

I've emailed the company directly, to see if they've got any samples they can let me have as a one-off.

Otherwise, it's sticky tape or something. Not ideal.

I think I've got one left over from our last offices stuffed away somewhere, It doesn't seem to be in the office, so it might be at home - hang fire 'till the morning.

I would suggest to Harringey Council that they utilise the council tax that you pay them to source some pronto rather than trying to buy one from somewhere. Tell them you are unable to display the permit properly until they provide the correct holder for it and threaten to complain to your MP.

Sorry, can't seem to find it, but I subscribe to the view that Haringay Council should get off their arses!
