Resident Parking Permits
If you live in a property where you do not have suitable off-street parking and you live adjacent to or close to a Council car park, then you may be able to purchase a Resident Parking Permit. This page explains what you need to do in order to buy a Resident Parking Permit.
Resident Parking Permits are now offered electronically as a virtual permit and therefore paper permits will no longer be issued. Civil Enforcement Officers (CEOs) are able to check the vehicle registration on the permit using a handheld device to enforce the car park.
Purchasing a virtual permit means there is no need to display anything in your vehicle as proof of payment and is more environmentally friendly than using paper permits.
If you have an existing paper permit, this can be used until its expiry after which you will then need to apply for a virtual permit.
Resident Parking Permits are available in the following car parks alongside the associated cost:
- Enderby Road and Johns Court Car Park, Blaby - £85
- Weavers Court Car Park, Narborough - £85
- Leicester Road Car Park, Narborough - £85
- The Grange Car Park, Narborough - £55
Due to the size of the Leicester Road car park in Narborough we are only able to offer a limited number of Residents Parking Permits. Applications are open to specific addresses and where no alternative parking is available (for example on-street parking or driveway). Normal residence qualification requirements also apply. Please contact the Parking Team at the Council for further information.
If you are a resident of the recently refurbished Old Bank flats at The Grange in Narborough and would like to apply for a Residents Parking Permit, please contact the Parking Team.
