Parking suspensions

Notice periods

Give us plenty of notice

We need to put signs up on street to give residents and other road users reasonable notice about upcoming suspensions so they can make sure their cars are not parked in suspended bays.  

Submit your application in advance of the start date for:  

• Permit parking bays: 10 working days notice

We will consider a short notice application for permit bays made up to 5 days before the start day. This will be at our discretion and short-notice charges will apply in addition to the standard charges. 

• Pay-by-phone bays: 2 working days notice

Requirements

For your application to be successful you must:

• apply on working days from Monday to Friday, and don't include holidays or bank holidays and
• we must receive your application before 3pm to accept it for that day,
• make payment in full (before we can approve the suspension and place signs on the street) and
• there needs to be one clear consecutive week between the dates required for a suspension for a second application to be treated as a new application and incur the lower charges.

Details are outlined in our notice period chart:

If you are applying for a suspension for filming we need longer notice. Find out about filming in the borough.
