Resident Visitor Parking Permits

Resident visitor parking permits are available to residents of a controlled parking zone for use by their visitors during controlled hours.
Resident visitor parking permits cost £3 for a set of ten and are issued as a book of ten individual cards or as a booklet of two reusable cards (with five entries each). A household is limited to purchasing a maximum of seven sets of resident visitor parking permits per month (the equivalent of £21). No refunds will be given for unused, part-used or spoilt permits.

The permit allows the holder to park their vehicle in a permit holders only bay within the controlled parking zone shown on the card/booklet for up to six hours. They can also park for six hours within a 'shared use' bay - that is, a bay where permit holders and motorists displaying a valid pay and display ticket, can park.

To purchase resident visitor parking permits you must present one document from the following list to prove your address is within a controlled parking zone (you must supply original documentation, photocopies are not acceptable):

 

  • Driving licence
  • Current council tax bill
  • Bank/building society/credit card statement dated within three months
  • Utility bill dated within three months
  • Current council rent book
  • Welfare benefits letter dated within three months
  • Department for Work and Pensions letter dated within three months

 

Please note that mobile phone bills, vehicle/insurance documents, TV licenses and medical cards are not accepted
