Parking bay suspension

How to apply for a temporary parking suspension: for example, building works.
Some systems down

Due to a global Microsoft outage we are unable to access some systems, including sending and receiving email. Our phone lines remain open if you need to contact us. We are monitoring the situation and will keep residents updated.

You may need to apply for a temporary suspension of parking space on the public highway in certain circumstances, for example for: 

  • removals 
  • building works
  • road works  
  • utilities work
  • special events 
  • skip
  • filming
  • local events 

Parking suspensions are indicated on streets by yellow warning boards. 

If you need to restrict the use of a location where parking is not normally subject to any restriction, or need to change the use of a location where waiting restrictions apply, you will need to contact the street works team to request a temporary traffic order.

When to apply

Please apply a minimum of five working days before the requested start date of the suspension.

How to apply

In order to submit an online application, you will need:

  • street name or postcode of where the suspension is required 
  • date and times you want to suspend the space for
  • a brief description of where the proposed suspension is located such as ‘outside number 7 only’
  • vehicle registration numbers of all the vehicles using the suspended spaces
  • method of payment of a debit or credit card 

If you’re going to place a skip on parking spaces, you will need to apply for a skip licence with a parking suspension. More information and details on how to apply can be found on our skip licence page.
