What happens next

Permits are digital, so there's nothing to display in your vehicle. Your permit starts as soon as we've checked your proof of address, usually within 2 working days. We'll email you to confirm.

If you have not had an email confirming your permit after 2 working days, call us on 01632 960 002. Do not park in the zone until it's confirmed.

Renew your permit

We'll email you 4 weeks before your permit runs out. You can renew it in your parking account up to 4 weeks before it ends.
