We sometimes need to suspend the use of parking bays and spaces in the Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) for building works, roadworks or loading / unloading.

Warning notices will be displayed in the suspended bay / space at least 4 days before the start of the suspension, to make sure road users know that it is not in use. 

Whilst a parking bay / space is suspended, you may be liable for a parking fine if you park in it. 

We do not carry out suspensions outside the CPZ.

How to request the suspension of a parking bay in the CPZ

To request a parking bay suspension, please complete the form below at least 14 days before the start of the suspension. Once completed, please email the form to us at . 

If we approve your application, we will contact you to take payment. We accept debit and credit cards.
