Parking permits

Permit parking overview

The District Council introduces and manages Permit Parking Zones (or 'PPZs') where parking restrictions are introduced in a several streets, to prioritise parking for residents, local businesses and their visitors.  These are also known as Controlled Parking Zones (or 'CPZs').

Restricted hours vary across different zones depending on parking pressure and are shown by large ‘zone entry’ signs on the street. Vehicles parked in a CPZ during restricted hours must have a valid permit. You do not need a permit to park in a CPZ outside of the restricted hours.

The sign will show:

• what CPZ you are in
• when the restricted hours are
• at what time waiting on single yellow lines is not allowed (if applicable)
