If you are moving home, expecting a large delivery, or need access to a set of parking bays for another reason, such as tree pruning or building works, you can apply for a parking bay suspension.
If you want to deposit a skip on any public road, you will also have to buy a
Skip licence.
If you are planning an event and require parking bays to be suspended, please see our event organisation information.
Location of parking bays
We can only suspend parking bays for a valid reason which means it is essential to reserve parking near to a particular property. You can use the map below to see all parking bays.
Charges
Prices are per standard parking space per day. For calculating days’ notice, the date an application form is received is considered day 0, and the next working day, day 1. For long wheelbase vehicles or lorries two or more spaces would be required.
