Permits last for one year and are issued with a self-adhesive plastic holder to be clearly displayed inside the front windscreen of your car. Motorcycle permits must be displayed in a prominent position on the front or near side.

If you no longer need the permit, you must inform us. Refunds will only be given if the permit has six months left until expiry. If you move house within the zone for which your permit is valid, you must inform us of your new address so we can update your permit details.

If your permit is lost, stolen or damaged, you can apply for replacement. Additional costs apply.

District-wide car parking strategy

The car parking strategy looks at future car parking needs in the district's main settlements. The strategy consists of two documents:

Part 1: The Executive Strategy document
Part 2: The Study Report

The Study Report sets out the framework for all parking matters up to 2016. It covers many different aspects of car parking including data collection and analysis, production of demand forecasts town by town, explanations of options for dealing with any imbalance between car parking supply and demand, modelling of possible tariff changes, the enforcement of regulations for both SSDC car parks and on-street parking, and the implications of introducing Decriminalised Parking Enforcement (now known as Civil Parking Enforcement) ie the transfer of on-street enforcement from Police to Local Authority personnel.

The Report is supported by detailed technical analysis on a number of issues and these are attached as appendices. Additionally, summary results of surveys of car park use can be viewed via the links to the right, as can maps of the settlements showing their car parks.

The Study Report acts as a foundation for the District Wide Parking Strategy and consideration of comments received during consultation with stakeholders has led to the formulation of the. The Executive Strategy Document. This builds on the basis provided by the Study Report and addresses the possible undersupply of parking in some of the main towns, the management options for car parking including review of supply and demand, car park layouts, tariffs (costs and times), alternative methods of management, and potential for alleviating demand.

The Executive Strategy also considers the possible introduction of Civil Parking Enforcement (CPE).
