Hi
I didn't know my car needed renewing until I saw a parking ticket on it!
The council told me they post reminders but can't be relied on as they may not
be received - which I don't believe. I think they just don't post them.
Why they can't send an email I do not know. So I would advise everyone to check
their permit renewal date!
I used a visitor's permit while waiting 36 hours, just in case.
Friends told me to contest it because it was my car parked outside my house on
my road. I didn't though.
I'm pretty fed up with the parking permit saga in this area though.

I found payment online straightforward. However as I was doing this on expiry
day I was left unsure when the new one would be live, as they said it would
be in 36 hours from payment but gave no specific date. So as it was over the
weekend I felt had to use my visitors permits (Sat and Mon), just in case....
I rang the council yesterday who confirmed the renewal had gone through but
also that reminders cannot be relied upon now as that they are not always
sent out.

I had a trying time renewing this time. I did it online but didn't use the
green permit renewal button. I didn't recognise the term green permit.
Payment wasn't taken so I rang to find out what I'd done wrong. (Not used
the green permit button). I was passed from one person to another until the
line went dead. Then went back online used the other renewal button and
everything went through fine.
I've just applied for visitor permits. You have to put in your residents
permit number they check it and get back to you for payment I think. At least
that's what I'm waiting for according to an email.

Hi,
My parking permit has now expired. I applied for a renewal weeks ago but so
far haven't had a request for payment. Should I be getting worried?
