Bay suspensions and dispensations

Bay suspensions

Please make sure that you have all the necessary permissions and permits for the work you are undertaking before requesting a bay suspension.

You can purchase a bay suspension if you are carrying out works in the Pay & Display zone and require a parking bay to be suspended for the storage of plant/vehicles in connection with certain types of works.

A bay suspension can be purchased by creating an account and completing a short online application form letting us know where the works are being carried out, the vehicle details of any vehicle to be parked within the suspended bays and letting us know how long you would like to suspend a bay for.

All parking bay suspensions will be charged at the standard rate of £18.00 per bay, per day.  There is no lower charge for suspensions involving essential works.  All charges must be paid in full by debit or credit card before a suspension request can be processed.  Payment will be taken as part of the online application process.  You can only apply for 5 bays per application.

You should let us know if you require any cones or barriers by emailing ParkingServices@pkc.gov.uk after your application has been approved.
