Parking waiver terms and conditions

A waiver for parking on single or double yellow lines, in pay and display or resident's bays is only issued where the vehicle is necessary for the completion of the task at hand. A waiver will not be issued where tools and materials can be unloaded from the vehicle.

The following list shows examples of reasons a vehicle would be eligible for a waiver.

1. The vehicle is a mobile workshop with a workbench and tools that are fixed to the vehicle and cannot be unloaded. This must be necessary for the work.
2. The vehicle has a generator fixed to the vehicle that is required to power tools that are necessary to complete the work.
3. There is a pump fixed to the vehicle, which is required to complete the work.
4. There is a fixed gas supply, or where the gas tanks are too large to remove from the vehicle, and this supply is required for the work at hand, e.g. For welding or refilling fire extinguishers hazardous materials - chemicals that are officially a danger to health, present in large quantities and where there is insufficient secure storage for them on the site. Asbestos removal would also qualify, where full precautions including on site wash down facilities are required.
5. Where space is very restricted and there is no space available to offload materials or store debris until a load is ready. A waiver for this reason would only be issued after a site inspection to confirm that the waiver is necessary.

The vehicle must be moved once the work is complete and the vehicle is no longer required. The Council is not required to provide waivers for vehicles to park in the vicinity of their permanent or regular place of work.

This service is provided to assist bona fide operations for contractors and individuals where it is necessary for a vehicle to be parked otherwise in contravention of parking regulations.

Payment is £10 per day or part of day, £50 for up to 1 week, £75 for up to 1 month and £200 for the year. This does not include the first day if after 6pm or the final day if cleared by 8am.

At certain locations the waiver may not be valid for the full day. Waiting restriction for peak flow traffic movement would be such a location where it's waiver would not be valid for part of the day.
