Vehicle types
Vehicle types that can be used with a resident or visitor permit include passenger carrying vehicle, motorcycle, dual purpose or goods vehicle, a caravan or trailer if hooked up to a vehicle displaying a valid permit.
Once you receive your new permit, display it immediately in the holder provided, on the left or nearside of the vehicle. All details should be clearly visible from the outside of the vehicle. Any vehicle not clearly displaying a valid parking permit is liable to be issued with a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN).
If you own or make use of a motorcycle please advise parking services when you apply. The permit will be issued and kept in our dispatch office. When patrolling the area, civil enforcement officers will contact dispatch to verify the motorcycle is allowed to park.
If you have a visitor with a motorcycle, contact telephone: 01253 476395 and advise them of the permit number and house address.
Reminders
Paper reminders are still being sent for now, but we are gradually phasing these out as it cuts down on paper wastage.
In the future, we will be moving to email only reminders. Please provide your email address with your application.
The onus is on the householder to renew the permit before it expires.
If you have moved out of a resident parking scheme and no longer need your permit you should return the permit to Parking services, PO Box 4, Blackpool FY1 1NA
Change of address
If you have moved to a property within a different resident parking scheme you need to reapply for permits for your new property.
The £15 fee will be payable for each permit.
Courtesy cars
If you have the use of a temporary courtesy car please contact our dispatch office on telephone: 01253 476395 and give details of the courtesy car. Your resident permit must be displayed in the car even though your registration is different.
