Visitor parking permits in Scarborough and Whitby

If you are a resident, you can apply for parking permits for guests visiting your home in Scarborough or Whitby.

Important
New permit application system

We have a new online system for permit applications. You will need to make an account in our new system because your old log in details will not work.

New applications

If you are making a new permit application, you can create an account and use the new system.

Existing permits

If you already have a physical permit, you do not need to do anything. Existing permits are still valid until they expire and you can continue to use them as normal.

We will contact you when you need to renew your permit. You will need to create an account in our new system to renew it.

If you want to make any changes to your existing permit, you need to create an account in our new system.

Visitor parking permits are for guests visiting your address.

A one day permit will allow your visitors to park all day.

Price

  • £10 per pack of 25 credits

Credits are automatically deducted from your balance each time a visitor permit is used.
