Our current policy is that upon application, a book of 10 one-hour visitor parking permits will be provided free of charge to all households that currently have at least one paid for resident parking permit holder per annum.

Also, upon application, a book of ten 1-hour visitor parking permits will be provided free of charge to any residents in CPZs who are over 60, and in receipt of Council Tax support, and do not have another parking permit per annum.

Visitor vouchers can be purchased by residents without owning a parking permit, but we may still require proof of address to verify your details.

To find out the cost of your permit please see our permit prices and to find out your vehicle’s emissions please see Car fuel and CO2 emissions data - GOV.UK.

Please note that our prices have increased by 2.7% as of 16 April 2025, in line with inflation.
