Resident's Parking Scheme

Carlisle City Council operates a Resident’s Parking Scheme.

The scheme provides time limited parking (Disc Zone Parking) in which vehicles displaying a valid Resident, Business or Visitor Parking Permit are exempt from the time limits.

A permit holder can park in the marked out areas/bays in the street without time restriction.

The Residents Permit Scheme does not guarantee a parking place outside the premises/house but you will be able to park within the specified zone.

The Resident’s Parking Scheme:

• For non- permit holders, waiting is limited and a clock disc must be displayed in accordance with the waiting restrictions on the road signs.

• 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.

• On proof that the vehicle is registered to the occupier at the address, a permit will be issued (there is currently no limit on the number of permits issued provided the relevant proof is provided).

• Businesses are issued with one vehicle permit if they have no off street parking.

NOTE: This is not applicable to Zone C (City Centre Disc Zone).

• 60 days worth of visitor permits are issued to each household per year (only in exceptional circumstances are written requests for extra visitor permits considered, i.e. medical grounds).

• Each permit is issued for use within one zone and is not transferable for use within another zone.

• If a vehicle parks without a valid permit or valid parking disc the Civil Enforcement Officer will issue a Penalty Charge Notice.

• Vans and commercial vehicles up to the weight of 7.5t are allowed to park within the Scheme.

• Cars up to 3.5t and carrying up to 7 people are allowed to park within the Scheme.

• No caravans or trailers may be parked in the Disc Zone even if they are attached to a vehicle.

IF PERMIT HOLDERS CEASE TO RESIDE WITHIN THE ZONE ALL PERMITS MUST BE RETURNED TO PARKING SERVICES.
