Healthcare workers and carer parking permits

On 25 April 2024 the Transport and Environment committee approved the healthcare workers and carer parking permits report that allows us to begin the process to proceed with changes to the healthcare workers permit, also know as an EUP and to introduce two new permit types for carers.

We must now begin the legal process to make these changes to our traffic regulation order.

All updates will be posted on this page, please visit to see new updates.

If you have any questions about the report, you can email
