Emission-based parking charges

To reduce carbon dioxide emissions and improve air quality, new emission-based parking charges were introduced on 30 May 2023, based on vehicles CO2 emissions.

Resident parking charges

We are proposing further emissions-based charges. A consultation will commence from 26 January 2024 until 23 February 2024 on our proposals to make changes to our parking charges. This includes: 

  • Introducing Emissions to Doctors, Teachers, Business-all zone, Business-single zone and Motorcycle Resident Permits 
  • Introducing Diesel Surcharge to Euro 6 Compliant vehicles for all permit types
  • Introducing a multi-permit surcharge of £75 to resident permits

Price structure for resident permit 24/25

The cost of a parking permit depends on the emissions the vehicle produces (CO2 g/km) or the engine size (CC) of your vehicle.

If your vehicle was registered:

  • before 1 March 2001, the band your vehicle falls into will be determined by engine size.
  • after 1 March 2001, the band your vehicle falls into will be determined by emissions (i.e.CO2g/km)
  • after 1 March 2001 and your vehicle emissions cannot be found, the band your vehicle falls into will be determined by engine size

These prices are not inclusive of the diesel surcharge.
