Resident parking permits
A resident parking permit allows residents to park their
vehicles in a resident's bay, in the street or zone near to where
they live, which would otherwise be prohibited. The permit is
available to purchase either for a 12-month period or 6-month
period.
Do you qualify for a resident permit?
If you use or keep a motor vehicle, invalid carriage (with an
unladen weight not exceeding 30cwt) or a motorcycle at your
permanent residence and if the scheme includes your
street you are eligible for a permit.
If you do not own a vehicle but keep one under your "care and
control" you will need to produce the registration documents and a
letter from the registered owner stating that you have permanent
use of the vehicle.
If you use or keep your employer's vehicle you will need a
letter of confirmation from them. This should be written on company
headed stationery stating that you are entitled to use the vehicle
for business purposes. If you use more than one vehicle,
details of these should be printed on the permit.
A Resident Permit, a Visitor Permit or a Visitor Scratch Card
does not guarantee that a parking space will always be available.
To ensure that the scheme is as fair as possible permits are issued
at the discretion of the council. There are
restrictions to permit applications including the types
available and the number of permits issued per address. There may
be restrictions in certain areas/streets/zones, you will be
informed of any restrictions when you apply. All Resident
Permits are valid in Craig Street and Dickens Street car parks
between 5.00pm and 8.00am.
