Parking Dispensations

Parking dispensations are permits that are issued to allow vehicles to park within enforced areas.

A parking dispensation is only issued when it is absolutely necessary for a vehicle to be parked for longer than permitted or in a restricted area.  Reasons for the issue of a parking dispensation may include emergency works, building works and essential renovations where it is necessary to have the vehicle close to the location.

*Please note from the 1st October 2011 there will be an administration fee of £10 per permit.
