Parking Permits - Advice and Information

Permit Holders Only sign

A few rules regarding your permit that must be adhered at all times:

Display Your Permit at All Times

Permits must always be displayed when the vehicle is parked in a 'Permit Holders Only' bay during the hours specified on the signs, within the specified Zones. Failure to display a permit may result in the issue of a Penalty Charge Notice

Apply Within Plenty of Time

It is the responsibility of the Permit holder to apply for their new permit at least two weeks before the old one expires.

Permits Are Not Transferable

Permits showing a registration number of a vehicle are not transferable, therefore any loss of permit or change of vehicle must be reported to Parking Services. The details in the application are subject to verification.

Duplicate or Forged Permits

Under Section 115 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, anyone, who with intent to deceive, misuses a parking permit in any way or who makes or possesses a duplicate or forged permit, is guilty of a Criminal Offence. It shall also be an offence to knowingly make a False Statement to obtain a Parking Permit.

Starting 28th November 2005 a more convenient and secure electronic parking permit (transponder card) replaces the current paper permit. Permit holders up for renewal after this date are now issued with an electronic permit.
