Apply for a resident parking permit
Changes to permit charges
From Monday 4 February the cost of a resident permit is going down from £45 to £20. The cost for additional and visitors permits is going up, however, the cost of 2 resident permits will still be less than they currently are. Business permit charges are also changing and these will cost £400 per year from Friday 8 February.
All applications received before Monday 4 February will be charged at the current price and all applications received from Monday 4 February will be charged at the new price. If your permit expires before Monday 4 February and you want to wait for the new charges then you will need to make alternative arrangements for your vehicle in the interim.
