Parking permits

Emission-based charging coming 4 February 2026

We’re introducing emissions-based charging for parking permits to help improve air quality.
The charging structure will align with the Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) bands (commonly known as car or road tax) based on CO2 emissions, as used by the DVLA. Charges will only increase for petrol or diesel vehicles that produce more than 151g/km of CO2.
Check your vehicle’s emissions band.
