A tradesperson parking permit enables tradespeople to park their vehicle(s) in a designated resident only parking area within a scheme area's operational hours.
Each Resident Parking Scheme has different operational hours.
Please note that:
- You can purchase tradesperson parking permits on a daily, weekly or monthly basis
- The permits are specific to the scheme area you apply for
- You can only have two tradesperson parking permits per address at any one time with one vehicle registration number per permit
- You cannot transfer the permits between vehicles
- This permit doesn't reserve or guarantee the availability of a parking space
- As this is a virtual permit, you don't need to display a permit in the windscreen of the vehicle
