Temporary parking suspension

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.
