Trade permits
What is a trade permit?
Trade Permits are available to those who are working as trades people, e.g. plumbers, builders etc, at a property within a controlled parking zone which is not their permanent place of employment. The permits are intended to facilitate long stay, daily or weekly (5 or 6 day) parking for trades people, for whom the pay and display machines, which provide short term parking, are not suitable. Trade Permits are valid for the whole day during which parking controls operate.
It is intended that trades people should purchase permits in advance of any works being carried out. Each permit must then be validated by scratching off the date and writing in the registration number of the vehicle on which it is to be displayed.
Full instructions for use are shown on the permits.
The permits are only for use within the zone for which they are issued and are not valid for any other zone within the borough. The permits are not valid in pay and display only bays or in business bays or in off-street car parks.
