Visitors parking permits
New permit system launch
We are transitioning to a new online parking permit system. This change affects all types of permits including resident, business, and visitor permits.
You’ll not be able to park in your parking zone until you receive the parking permit and can display this in your car.
What you need to do
To use the new system, you may need to create a new account and you will need to submit the following documents:
• Proof of residence (for example - Council Tax account, utility bill, bank statement)
Even if you've submitted these documents before, you must resubmit them. This is to ensure data protection and eligibility verification.
Security and data protection
No existing documentation will be migrated to the new system. This is a deliberate decision to protect your personal data and ensure only valid applications are processed.
A visitors parking permit can be used by friends, relatives, health visitors or tradespeople who are visiting you.
Each permit is valid for one day. They are only valid for use by visitors visiting residents in the zone. Any fraudulent use of these permits can lead to cancellation of the permit and prosecution.
Visitors permits are sold in books of 10 daily permits. Each book costs £16.50. A maximum of 5 books may be purchased in any one rolling month.
You should receive your permit through the post within 10 working days from the date we receive your application.
