Businesses and other organisations: residents' parking schemes (RPS)

Information for businesses, traders, medical professionals, teachers and landlords about parking in an RPS area.

The type of permit you can get to park in RPS areas depends on your business, profession and what scheme area you want to park in.

We're proposing changes to visitors' permits and business permits for electric vehicles.

To view these proposals and take part in the consultation, visit Make a comment on Traffic Regulation Orders (TROs), under the section Proposed Variation Parking Permits: Residents' Parking Areas.
