When you can suspend a parking bay

You can apply to suspend a parking bay if:

  • building work, such as demolition or excavation, is being carried out next to the space
  • it's needed for domestic removal
  • it's for a wedding, funeral or other special event

This cost will increase to £35 per day from Monday 1 April 2024.

Off-street bay suspensions will be charged additional VAT.
