What are dispensations and suspensions

What are dispensations and suspensions

Dispensations aid safe work whereas suspensions reserve parking for specific purposes.

Dispensations and suspensions explained

  • a parking dispensation helps tradespeople, businesses, and utility companies work safely with minimal disruption
  • a parking suspension temporarily removes a restriction to reserve space for a specific purpose or vehicle

We have a procedure for requesting parking dispensations and suspensions. Each request is reviewed against set criteria.

The procedure aims to protect public parking availability in town centres and manage kerb space demand.

It also explains when and where we will grant dispensations and suspensions.
