If you are buying new visitor permits for the Christmas period, we strongly recommend that you buy e-visitor permits. This is due to delays with the Royal Mail postal service.
A visitor scratchcard permit allows someone to park in your controlled parking zone (CPZ) when they are visiting you. Your visitor must display the permit in their vehicle and use the designated parking bays.
We sell scratchcard permits in batches of 10 full-day or half-day permits.
This permit is called a resident scratchcard permit on our permit application pages.
