Parking Suspensions
Parking places can be suspended in certain circumstances, for example for:
- removals
- building works
- utility works
- special events
Suspending a parking place prohibits people from parking in it. If you need to park a specific vehicle to carry out a removal, please ensure you tell us using the contact details opposite. If you request a parking suspension for the purpose of building works, vehicles may only park within the suspension parking place. We are not able to suspend a bay with a waiting restriction.
We will attempt to send Civil Enforcement Officer to the location of the suspension to try and ensure that the parking spaces are kept clear, but we cannot guarantee that people will not park illegally (though if they do they will be penalised by issue of a penalty charge notice). The council is unable to clamp or remove the vehicle and the charges will still apply.
To apply for a parking suspension we require at least five working days notice. You must complete an application form providing the location, reason, date(s), number of parking spaces and your contact details. Once your request is received you should receive a response from us within two working days.
Suspension fees
Parking suspension are charged at a daily rate of £60 per parking space (a 5 metre length), per day. A parking place consists of any amount of parking spaces in a row. For example, two spaces suspended for two days would cost £60+ £60 x2 = £240.
Please note: We require payment in advance of the suspension being carried out. If payment cannot be provided prior to the suspension we require a purchase order number, with payment being provided shortly afterwards.
The cost of suspending a parking place is £60 per 5 metre parking space (within restricted parking bay) per day. There is no administration fee.
If two separate parking spaces are suspended on the same day, two initial charges of £60 are payable even if the parking places are in the same street.
Skip operator licence
If you are carrying out building work and require a skip you will be required to obtain a skip operator licence
