Parking waivers

In order to carry out works to adjacent properties it is occasionally necessary for vehicles to park in restricted areas, i.e. on yellow lines, or all day in a limited stay parking area. In these cases a parking waiver should be purchased from the council.

A parking waiver enables a vehicle to be parked as near as possible to the desired location, however it doesn't allow parking on:

  • a loading restriction during its hours of operation (marked by yellow kerb lines)
  • a bus stop 
  • a taxi rank
  • school 'keep clear' markings
  • zigzag markings on a pedestrian crossing or crossing area
  • anywhere that would cause an obstruction or a road safety hazard

Failure to comply with these conditions may result in a Penalty Charge Notice being issued. Vehicles must be moved on the instruction of a Civil Enforcement Officer or police officer.

Parking waivers cost £16 per vehicle per day, and can be paid for by debit card, credit card, cheque, or postal order. To find out more about getting a parking waiver, please call 01642 726003.
