Introduction of a Residents' Parking Permit Scheme

To ask for a Residents’ Permit Parking scheme to be started in your area, follow these steps:

Step 1: Contact us

Contact us directly at the address below

Or contact us via your elected public representative.


Send a request in writing stating :

  • Your name and address.
  • The full address of the street or road you are suggesting for the Residents’ Permit Parking scheme. Requests must be made by a resident of the road or a public representative on behalf of a resident.


Step 2:

This request is then sent to the Traffic Advisory Group for examination & report by the Area Traffic Engineer who will recommend a scheme subject to certain criteria being met and subject to a ballot of the residents on that road.

Step 3:

Residential Schemes are usually subject to the agreement of the residents and will be introduced if a majority of the residents who vote, vote in favour of the scheme.  The process involved in introducing a Residential Scheme takes approximately 7 months from the date of the ballot.
