Resident's car park permits - check qualifying towns below

In the towns detailed below, we issue a limited number of resident permits for town centre car parks.

Important points about resident's car park permits

  • You must comply with the criteria listed in the ‘conditions’ to be eligible to apply for a permit
  • you can only use each permit for one car park
  • each permit is only for a particular car
  • a permit does not give you a reserved space or guarantee you a space
  • you can only use a resident permit for a private car or van under 3.5T gross vehicle weight
  • you must display the permit on the driver's side of the windscreen when you are parked, or you will be liable to pay normal charges
  • there is usually a waiting list for permits - if you do not have a permit and are parked on a pay and display car park you must purchase a parking session either a ticket from the machine or pay by phone.

As from 02/12/2024 the scheme has been extended to include further towns:

During the extended consultation process carried out by the council last year, many residents, who have no off-street parking available and on-street parking restrictions outside their homes, expressed concern that the introduction of parking charges would adversely affect them.  This is because historically, they have been able to park for free in public car parks closest to their home.

As a result, the council carried out a mapping exercise to identify residential properties that are without access to other parking and are within 150 meters of the centre of the car park where charges are being introduced.  150 meters is the distance considered to be reasonable for someone to park within the vicinity of their home and still have quick and easy access to their vehicle.

Those that fit the criteria are now eligible to apply for a 12-month parking permit for specific car parks, at a vastly reduced cost. 

The eligibility criteria for the scheme, which is already in place for certain addresses in Knutsford, Macclesfield and Nantwich, has been extended to include that the vehicle for which the permit applies must be insured at the address, is taxed and has a valid MOT.
