Parking schemes and permits

Information on parking schemes and how to apply for a parking permit for residents, visitors, Care Workers, landlords and businesses

What you need to know

Parking Services are responsible for the administration of current on-street resident parking schemes. Parking schemes help people who live in busy areas to park near their homes.

They are used in places where:

  • There are more cars than parking spaces
  • Lots of visitors to a town
  • People park near stations or workplaces

There are different kinds of schemes for residents, care workers, landlords and businesses. You can check which permit you need, who can get one, and any rules that apply below.
