Carlisle City Council operates a free residential parking scheme
on behalf of Cumbria County Council.
If you do not have a resident's parking permit or visitor
permit, you must display the time of arrival on a clock disc. The
road signs will tell you how long you may legally park for. Permit
holders and disabled badge holders are exempt from these time
restrictions. The permit or blue badge must be clearly on display
at all times to qualify for this exemption.
Renewing your permit
Cumbria County Council are considering changes to the resident's
parking scheme. While this process takes place we will not renew
permits. As soon as any further information is available we will
contact every resident.
Please continue to display your resident and visitor permits in
the normal way, even if they have expired. If you run out of
visitor permits then please email or write to us. The regulations
for displaying a correctly completed permit or clock disc in the
restricted zones has not changed.
If you move out of the disc zone you must return all permits and
unused visitor passes to us.
