Residents parking permit
Residents parking permit
If you live in a residential property within a residents' parking scheme area, i.e. 'permit holders only', you'll need to apply for a permit to park during restricted hours.
A permit doesn't guarantee a parking space outside of your property, because resident bays aren't allocated to individual properties.
There is an annual charge of £30 for each permit and each visitor permit you have.
You must inform the council and surrender your permit(s) if you:
- move out of your property
- no longer own the vehicle the permit was issued for
- a replacement/duplication has been issued and is no longer needed
