About School Streets parking permits

If you are a permanent resident or operate a business within a School Street (Pedestrian and Cycle only zone) you will need a permit to be able to travel through the zone in your vehicle.

Signs on the street will give more information about the zone and its operating hours.

These permits are virtual, which means you do not need to display anything in your vehicle. Your permit is electronic and is associated with your vehicle registration number.

You can apply for a 12 month permit.

You will receive email renewal reminders in advance of the permit expiry date.

Households and Businesses can hold up to a maximum of 4 permits at any 1 time.

Foreign vehicles

If you own a vehicle that is registered in another country and you plan on keeping the vehicle for more then 6 months you will need to register your vehicle with the DVLA.

We can issue you with a parking permit for a 12 month period but will need you to provide the vehicle registration document (equivalent of the UK vehicle logbook (V5C) document).

Once you have registered the vehicle in the UK you must upload the updated vehicle document to your permit account.

When you add the vehicle registration number to the permit account, please ensure that you do not use hyphens at any point. For example, TE51ST instead of TE-51-ST.
