Car parking permits
The council issues a number of types of parking permits for use within its Controlled Parking Zones (CPZs) and car parks. The administration of the permit scheme is managed by our parking service partner, National Car Parks (NCP), through The Parking Shop in Twickenham.
Please note that as proofs of eligibility, payment and signed application forms are required, you will not be able to apply online. You will however be able to download the relevant notes and forms so you can fill them in before taking or posting to The Parking Shop.
Whilst your application is being processed, you must ensure that you park legally as the Council will not accept an expected permit as a reason to cancel a Penalty Charge Notice.
If you have any queries about the application process, then please call The Parking Shop. Contact details are available on the Parking contact details page.
All zone business permits now available
The Council now offers the chance for businesses located within the borough to purchase permits which will allow the holder to park in any resident or business parking place in the borough (excluding Richmond Town zone A1 business parking places).
See the Business parking permit pages for more information and to download application forms.
Parking permits based on carbon dioxide emissions or cylinder capacity
Most permit prices are now based on carbon dioxide emissions or cylinder capacity, which came into effect Monday 2nd April 2007. See the Vehicle banding for parking permits explained page for details on affected permit types, how vehicles are banded, and how the permit prices have changed.
