How much does a parking permit cost?

As part of our work to improve air quality in the borough, the cost of a parking permit is calculated based on the emissions of a vehicle, with more polluting vehicles charged more.

The cost of a parking permit is calculated based on the emissions of a vehicle, with lower polluting vehicles paying less. 

All non-housing estate residents receive a 15% discount in the first year, with the yearly for between £42 - £372 depending on your type of vehicle. Permits for residents of housing estates are between £10 - £87.

Residents are now able to pay for their permit in monthly instalments via direct debit, helping to reduce the financial impact of purchasing a new permit.

People who have blue badges in areas with a parking permit scheme will receive a free annual parking permit and can park in any controlled parking zone in the borough. The permit is not vehicle specific, and is issued to the resident who in turn may pass to their carer when visiting. The permit allows the carer to park nearby in the same manner as a resident, but does not guarantee a parking space.
