Residents parking

10 Quick Resident parking Questions
Why have all these changes been introduced to the criteria?

Westminster City council suspect increasing numbers of non-residents have been able to obtain a permit in recent years. We hope these changes will help to prevent abuse of the scheme and free up more parking space for residents whose sole or main residency is in Westminster.

How do I apply to have my name placed on the Electoral Register?

You may contact them directly on 0207 641 2733/2731, or alternatively you may go into one of our One Stop sites and obtain an application form.

If I am under 18, am I able to go on the Electoral register, to meet the criteria for a permit?

Yes, you may request to be included on the list but you would not be eligible to vote till you became 18 years old.

If I live on a Westminster Council Housing estate, may I apply for a resident parking permit?

If you live on an estate within Westminster City council you may apply to your Estate office for a housing estate parking permit. You may also apply for an on-street resident parking permit, so long as you meet the stated criteria for this scheme.

Why do all the documents have to be in my name and show my name address in Westminster?

This is the only way we can make sure that only residents whose sole or main residence within Westminster receive resident permits.

What if there is a delay in getting my documents changed?

The four week renewal period has been set to allow residents sufficient time for documents to be changed. All the documents required can be obtained within the time limit.

Why has the cost of the permits increased by £5.00?

Westminster Council reviews the cost of the permit on an annual basis. We believe that £105 represents excellent value for a permit.

Why do I have to provide original documents?

It is possible to alter copied documents. Only the original documents can prove genuine residency

Do I need to provide all documentation on renewal? If so why?

This is because an applicant must demonstrate at the time of application that they still meet the criteria for a permit as their circumstances could easily have changed by the time of renewal.
