Family visitor permit
If you are a relative of a person who needs significant levels of care and support due to illness or age, you can apply for a permit to park in the residents parking bays in their street.
Cost: £120 per annum, payable at the time of application. Valid for one year from the date of issue.
- Permits allow parking in the street where the person being visited resides
- If two resident parking permits have already been issued for the property, a family visitor permit cannot be issued
- Only one family visitor permit will be issued per household - if granted, the vehicle registration number on the permit can be updated via MiPermit should an alternative vehicle be required to visit the individual receiving care
- Only one vehicle registration mark will be active on the family visitor permit at any one time
