Parking suspensions

Costs and payment methods

Fees charged for a parking suspension will apply for each chargeable day, per space required.

We increased our fees from 1 April 2024.

Chargeable days

Fee per day, 

per space*

From 1 to 5 days

£72

From 6 to 42 days

£108

From 43 or more days

£144

Short notice suspension bookings (5 working days notice) for permit bays will incur a one off additional charge of £357 per application. It is a limited service and at the Council’s discretion. 

*Each space is available as either a marked bay or a 16 feet (five metres) space.

Example fee calculation

If you want a suspension for 3 chargeable days and for 2 spaces, calculate as follows:

  • 3 days x £72 = £216 x 2 spaces = £432

 If you want a suspension for 7 chargeable days and 1 space, calculate as follows:

  • 5 days x £72 = £360
  • 2 days x £108 = £216

So total charge for 7 days = £576 for 1 space.

Admin and cancellation charges

We will charge an administrative fee to each application you make changes to, or cancel.

Suspension admin charges per application

Any changes, including cancellation, to the suspension application after the sign has been put up 

£24

Two or more changes, including cancellation, to the suspension application before the sign has been put up 

£19

We will charge an administrative fee if we have to cancel your suspension because you are not using it for an approved purpose.

In addition to the suspension charge, each film related parking request exceeding four car spaces will be the subject of a Parking Handling Charge from the Borough Film Office.

When to pay

You will need to pay your fee when we accept your application and send you an invoice. This will advise you when your payment must be received by us for the suspension to proceed. 

There needs to be one clear consecutive week between the dates you need for a suspension for a second application to be treated as a new application and incur the lower charges.

More information is outlined in our conditions.

How to pay

We accept payment by credit card and debit card or via BACS. 

We don't accept Amex or Diners Club cards.

Pay online

Do not enclose cash with any postal application forms.
