Resident - informal carer parking permit
If you're a carer providing primary care to a Southwark resident, you can apply for a permit to park in the controlled parking zone.
You can apply for a permit if you are caring for a resident within one of Southwark's controlled parking zones (CPZs)
Personal carer parking permits are for the sole use of the cared-for person’s carer (family or friend).
As part of the application process, you will be asked to provide a letter from the cared-for person’s GP confirming that you are their carer. Carers do not need to live in Southwark.
Some new and converted properties have planning restrictions that make them car-free. You cannot purchase this permit if the cared-for person resides in one of these properties unless they have a disabled badge.
Where can I use the permit?
The permits are valid in resident bays and resident shared-use bays within the CPZ where the cared-for person lives. To find where to park, view our controlled parking zone map.
This application is for on-street CPZs only and is not valid within our housing estates.
Permit costs
A 12-month permit costs £75.
Cancelling permits and refunds
You can get a refund if you:
- sell your vehicle
- no longer need the permit
We cannot refund permit payments for part of a month. We'll only refund complete months.
You can cancel your permit online in your account.
