With our new virtual parking permits, you'll apply for and manage your parking permits in your online parking permit account - no paper involved.

If you live in a Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) in the borough, a resident parking permit will allow you to park in parking bays in the zone you live in. 

If you live in the CPZ in Bedford you can arrange parking for your visitors quickly and easily via a resident parking account. 

If your business is based in the Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) in the borough, a business parking permit will allow you to park for up to four hours in any parking bay in the CPZ. 

Monthly or annual season tickets allow you to park in one of our car parks at a reduced average daily rate, and there's no need to visit the pay machine each time you park. 

Our parking permits for healthcare workers allow the permit holder to park in the CPZ whilst attending to patients. 

We offer parking permits for voluntary organisations to support them in doing their work in the CPZ.

If you are a tradesperson or a contractor working in the CPZ, you can apply for a waiver for your vehicle so you can wait on a yellow line on the public highway. 

Building works, roadworks or loading / unloading in the CPZ sometimes require the suspension of a parking bay. Find out how to apply for a suspension.
