If you require parking bay suspensions within the City Centre Controlled Parking Zones, contact the Parking team. Parking bay suspensions outside of these areas may require the introduction of a Temporary Traffic Regulation Order (TTRO) you will need to contact our Highways Traffic Management Team.

Parking dispensations

A parking dispensation allows a vehicle to park on some restrictions (residents/business permit bays, limited wait bays and loading bays only) where this parking is essential i.e. there is a compelling reason for the vehicle to be parked at the requested location and there is no suitable alternative legitimate parking available.

The cost is £20.60 per vehicle, per day.

You must provide at least 48 hours’ notice to allow sufficient time to consider the granting of a parking dispensation. When making our decision, we’ll review possible effects on traffic flow and the availability of suitable parking in the area.

In all cases, the granting of a parking dispensation will be at the discretion of Birmingham City Council.
