How many season tickets can I apply for?

The number of season tickets per household is not restricted and up to two registration numbers can be added to the season ticket. However, the season ticket can only be used for one of the nominated vehicles at any time.

Guidance

The season ticket must be displayed behind the front windscreen so it can be clearly and entirely seen from the front of the vehicle. The season ticket is only valid when used in the nominated vehicle, details of which will be printed on the season ticket.

It is the driver’s responsibility to ensure that the vehicle is parked wholly within a marked parking bay. The issue of a season ticket does not guarantee the holder a parking space.

Your vehicle must also not:

• Exceed five metres in length
• Weigh more than 3.5 tonnes
• Be adapted to carry more than eight passengers, excluding the driver (not drawing a trailer)

Cost for the season ticket

A season ticket valid for:

• Six months costs £340
• Twelve months costs £650

What happens after I apply?

Once you have submitted and paid for your application, you will to need to visit Gateway on the same day to collect your ticket. Please have your application reference number or receipt to hand when you visit.

If you are not able to collect on the same day but do not wish us to post the season ticket to you, please call the Parking team to let us know. In this case, we will hold onto the season ticket until you are ready to collect it.

Parking fraud

Misuse of a season ticket is fraud. We will investigate all reports of the misuse of permits.

Section 115 of the Road Traffic Regulations Act, 1984

This provides penalties for any person who makes a false statement to obtain a season ticket or with intent to deceive, forges, or alters, or uses, or lends to, or allows to be used, or has in their possession any document so closely resembling any such season ticket as to be calculated to deceive.

Replace or cancel a season ticket

If you have lost or damaged your season ticket, there is no need to reapply. Please visit Gateway to pay the administration charge of £14 by credit or debit card so we can re-issue the season ticket.

Please note we do not offer refunds for season tickets. The prices given for season tickets are aimed at providing better value when purchased for longer periods. Customers should consider this when purchasing a season ticket.
