Residential parking scheme

Apply for a residential parking permit

We manage several on-street permit-controlled parking zones. These zones operate from 8am to 8pm, Monday to Saturday.

If you live in one of these zones or regularly visit someone who does, you may be eligible for a parking permit.

Types of permits

There are three types of permits available:

  • residential permit
    For residents with a vehicle. The permit is linked to a specific vehicle and must be displayed at all times.
    There is no limit to the number of residential permits per property, except in Zone M.

  • open permit
    For short-term visitors. This permit is not linked to a specific vehicle.
    Only one open permit is allowed per property.

  • visitor permit
    For regular visitors. The resident must apply and give consent.
    There is no limit to the number of visitor permits per property, except in Zone M.

Note: Properties in Zone M are limited to 2 permits per property.
