One essential visitor parking permit is available to any full-time resident who relies on their family or friends for regular support in order to continue living independently in their own home.

Typically, these permits are issued to our older residents with infirmities or residents of any age with ongoing medical conditions, or a disability, with or without a Blue Badge.

The permit may also be used for childcare by parents who rely on family members for babysitting duties for children under 12 years of age.

The permit is issued to the resident to be given to their essential visitor for them to display in their car whilst they are providing care or support. When the visit is over, the permit should be handed back to the resident for re-use at another time.
