Health visitor's parking permits
These permits are available to health professionals visiting households within on-street resident parking zones. They are not for office, surgery or hospital parking. Their usage is monitored very closely and future applications may be refused if abuse is observed.
All applications must be supported by a letter on letter headed paper from the NHS Trust or surgery you are based in.
These permits are only to be used whilst carrying out emergency visits to households within on-street resident parking zones.
