All day trader permit
An all day trader permit is intended to be used by builders, traders and other service providers who require on-street parking when working for a local resident or business.
Anyone can apply. The permit allows a driver to park their vehicle, in a shared use bay, outside or close to the property they are working for eight hours (9am-5pm), at a cost of £30. Where operational hours start before 9am the session will still cover you to park until 5pm.
The trade permit is only valid for the vehicle it has been purchased for and is not transferable. It is non-refundable and does not guarantee a parking space, so we recommended you purchase the permit once you have found a parking space.
