5.1 We encourage tradespeople and landlords to use sustainable modes of transport such as public transport, walking and cycling, to reduce vehicle emissions and improve air quality for all. However, we recognise that there are occasions where it is necessary to park in a Bath car park or Residents' Parking Zone, in order to provide services to residents and businesses.
5.2 A Trade permit allows the holder to activate digital parking stays to park in a Bath car park, residents' parking bay, or on-street Pay & Display bay for as long as required, without having to purchase a ticket at a Pay & Display machine. This provides the flexibility of allowing the permit holder to stay for longer periods than the maximum time advertised.
5.3 You can apply for a digital trade permit account through MiPermit.
5.4 A trade parking stay must be activated via MiPermit in advance, or upon arrival for the required duration.
5.5 A stay can be cancelled via the MiPermit mobile app, if booked in advance, and if done so before the requested time starts. A parking stay cannot be cancelled once it is activated.
5.6 It is the permit holder’s responsibility to activate a ‘further stay’ if you wish to stay longer than the activated parking stay. Failure to do so may result in the issue of a PCN (Penalty Charge Notice).
5.7 Trade permits are not vehicle specific. There is no limit to the number of vehicles that can be linked to a trade permit account. All parking charges incurred on the account are charged against the registered bank card on a daily basis.
