Parking Permits (Residential, Academic and Season Permits)

The Council have introduced a number of on-street residential permit schemes which are reserved for nearby residential properties.

The schemes allow, 24 hours permit parking and enforcement which is the responsibility of MTCBC. As a result, any vehicles found parked in these locations, without a valid permit can expect to be issued with a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN).

These permits cost £34 each. Restrictions on the number and types of permits which are available do vary from area to area. Entitlement details can be found on the application form.
