Suspending parking bays

Parking bays may be suspended from use for reasons such as:

  • domestic removals (suspensions cannot be used for preferential parking and once a bay is suspended no vehicle is permitted to park in the bay. This includes removal vehicles.)
  • building works
  • funerals or weddings
  • access to or from a site

A suspension may apply to 1 bay or a larger area if necessary. One bay suspension includes the length of 2 bays (10 metres maximum or 2 normal car lengths).

Yellow lines cannot be suspended.

Vehicles that park within a notified bay suspension will be issued with a parking ticket (Penalty Charge Notice) in accordance with the restrictions indicated on the sign.

Notice required

You are required to give a minimum of 10 working days as notice to suspend a bay.

Late applications for emergency works are not guaranteed but will be considered. These requests must be received before noon Monday to Friday (excluding public and bank holidays).

We will not be held responsible for any inconvenience caused if spaces are occupied.
