What is the resident parking permit?
The annual Residents' Free Parking Concession is automatically issued to all households within the Derbyshire Dales district. In order to benefit from the concession and be exempt from the pay and display charges before 11am and after 3pm daily, the badge must be displayed clearly on the windscreen of your vehicle. Only one free badge is available to each household.
The badge is issued for use under the following conditions:-
- It is only valid on the District Council's Pay and Display car parks.
- It is valid for use before 11.00AM and after 3.00PM, at all other times you must pay and display.
- Displaying the badge will enable you to park without paying, but all other rules apply.
- You may buy a 1 hour parking ticket before 11am and display it alongside your badge to extend your stay to 12 noon. (Maximum extension 1 hour, valid on day of purchase only).
Please look after the badge as free replacements will not be issued.
Free Resident Concession Permit Survey 2023
As part of the Car Park Review, the council conducted a survey with residents on the free concession permit to understand if residents still felt the free after 4pm and before 11am offer was still a benefit, or would residents like to see a different offer whilst using their free permit.
Results of the Resident Permit Survey 2023
As a result, the Council extended the hours the free permit operates to free after 3pm and before 11am, meaning residents only need to pay for parking 4 out of 24 hours a day.
