We have created a number of residents' permit schemes.

These zones aim to protect on-street parking spaces outside people's houses, in areas where parking is limited, and problems are caused by parking by commuters and shoppers, etc.

Permits are for residents who live in a Permit Zone.

Permits are registered to vehicles registered at the property.

Parking in a Residents' Parking Zone when it is in operation without a valid permit is not allowed and you are likely to get a parking ticket.

If you do have a parking permit you should be aware that this does not guarantee you a place to park your vehicle, it only gives you permission to do so if space is available.

We have four new Car Free School Streets for 2024. These aim to reduce congestion and improve air quality at the school gates as well as making it easier to walk or cycle to school. It also helps to address the problems people living close to a school can experience due to school gate parking at school start and end times. Residents in theses zones can apply for permits from 5th February 2024.

There is a new Permit Scheme that went live on 19 July 2023 in the Trinity Street / Burges area. Access to the area is now restricted to Permit Holders and Authorised Vehicles between 10am and 6pm, Monday to Saturday.
