Contractors

If you're carrying out work at a property, you can use pay and display parking, or ask your client to provide you with a visitors' (scratchcard) permit. 

If you need to do building works that may take some time, we could suspend an area of parking for you instead of using visitors' permits.

Information on bay suspensions can be found on our parking suspensions page.

You might qualify for a trader's permit.
