You can apply for a tradesperson parking permit if you need tradespeople to carry out work on your property.
There's a different parking permits system for council estates.
A tradesperson permit costs £18.50 per week and is a virtual permit. It can be valid for between one and 6 weeks and you can apply up to 30 days before you need it.
You can apply for up to 2 tradesperson permits per property.
The permit can only be used for vehicles less than 1.95 metres wide and less than 3 metres tall.
