Residents Parking Zone (RPZ) Policy

There is an annual cost per permit of £10 for residents, visitors and all zone permits, and £50 for business permits.

Business Permits are charged a higher fee than Residents Permits to help manage parking on-street parking demand and encourage the use of off-street parking or sustainable transport models.

If a paper permit is lost, destroyed, or stolen a duplicate can be issued and the original permit can be cancelled. An administration charge of £10 applies; if the permit is stolen and a crime number can be produced the fee will be waived. If a paper permit becomes faded or defaced, it should be handed in at a Customer Service Centre for a free replacement to be issued.

The cost of permits should cover administration and enforcement of the scheme and therefore may incur incremental increases to ensure the scheme is self-funding.
