Residents' Parking

Residents' Parking Schemes are designed to help residents park close to their homes or premises, while deterring vehicles from outside the area from parking and causing congestion. These schemes do not reserve places exclusively for each permit holder, but permit holders can park in any of the streets within their designated scheme area (zone) in the resident parking bays provided.

Leicestershire County Council is responsible for the implementation and administration of all Residents' Parking Schemes in Leicestershire. As from 1st June 2010 permits are no longer available from Charnwood Borough Council. All applications for Residents' Parking permits, Visitor's permits and Changes of Vehicle need to be made to Leicestershire County Council by post, who aim to despatch the permits within 5 working days.

For all matters relating to the Residents' Parking schemes, including how they operate, how to apply for or renew a permit and how to apply for further Visitor's permits then please use the following link to Leicestershire County Council's Residents' Parking pages where you will find everything you need.

Leicestershire County Council do not offer a face-to-face applications service.

PLEASE NOTE: Parking restrictions remain in force 365 days a year, including Bank Holidays, unless the adjacent parking signage states otherwise. Please always check the parking signage and road markings at the location where you wish to park before parking there.
