If you have a parking permit, it is important to acknowledge that this does not guarantee you a parking space for your vehicle.

Permits are only valid for use in the zones for which they have been purchased / issued and drivers are advised to check all signs along the roadside before parking - to ensure your vehicle is parked in the right zone.

Parking permits are not available to those that reside in 'car free' developments.

There are various types of permits and their uses are explained below:

Permits being withdrawn

We reserve the right to refuse or withdraw permit in the following circumstances:

If the applicant attempts to fraudulently obtain or use a permit
If permit is not being used in accordance with these guidelines
If found that a permit holder is no longer eligible to hold a permit
If the permit is altered or defaced in anyway

Renewing/Updating your permit

It is a permit holder's responsibility to:

Ensure that the permit is renewed promptly
Get the permit updated when new vehicle is purchased
Get the permit updated when moved from one controlled parking area to another
Ensure the permit is used in accordance with the conditions of issue

Out of date permits
