Professional or trade parking permits

Medical or health worker

If you are a healthcare worker who visits patients in a charged parking area, you are eligible for a professional parking permit. This includes the following groups:

doctors
midwives
health workers
district nurses

Annual permits cost £60 and entitle the holder to a two hour exemption from charges. Permits must be used with the time clock supplied.

Please note, these permits are not to be used for parking at or near your place of work or for shopping or leisure activities.

Misuse of permits could lead to cancellation. Parking attendants may ask to see your patient's proof of address. They will not ask for any of their private or confidential medical information.

How to apply

Please fill out the application form and submit this, along with payment, to our Parking Services team.

Trade

For contractors working on properties in a charging zone, we recommend using pay and display or parking in a nearby car park.

Some trade permits are available for contractors that need to park outside a property for longer than the allowed three hours.

We will only approve these applications if you can show

there is no other reasonable option available
evidence that you are working at a specific property
your vehicle needs to be close to the property for a specific reason

These permits are not for general use by businesses or commuters within the zone.
