Parking Permits

A resident parking permit allows you to park in a resident controlled parking zone (Opens in a new window) (CPZ) stated on your permit.  

You must note that -

• displaying a resident permit grants exemption from the limited parking restriction within the controlled parking zone
• having a resident permit does not guarantee you a parking space or give you the right to park outside your house
• a permit does not provide an exemption from any other on-street parking restrictions such as double yellow lines
• resident's permits can be digital, and these will be recognised from your vehicle registration details or they can be a paper copy displayed inside your vehicle. This includes cars, motorbikes, and vans. It ensures that the vehicle is exempt from time limitations within certain areas of the city

Cost

All resident parking permits outside of the city centre cost £22 a year.
