How much does a suspension cost?

The fee and structure charged for a parking suspension changed for applications submitted from 10 January 2011.

The fee will apply for each chargeable day, per space required.

Chargeable days

Fee per day,

per space

From 1 to 5 days

£44

From 6 to 42 days

£66

From 43 or more days

£88

Example fee calculation:

If you want a suspension for 3 chargeable days and for 2 spaces, calculate as follows:

  • 3 days x £44 = £132 x 2 spaces = £264

 If you want a suspension for 7 chargeable days and 1 space, calculate as follows:

Number of days:

  • 5 days x £44 = £220
  • 2 days x£66 = £132

So total charge for 7 days = £352 for 1 space

Note

You will need to pay this fee when you apply for a suspension.

There needs to be one clear consecutive week between the dates required for a suspension for a second application to be treated as a new application and incur the lower charges.

Each space is about 16 feet (or five metres) long.

Admin and cancellation charges

  • A £10 cancellation fee will be charged, per application, if you cancel the suspension before it starts and where the signs have not yet been put up or £15 if the sign has already been erected.

Suspension sign has been posted and customer cancels application £15
Date change: If the suspension sign has been posted and this is the second or more time the date is amended by the customer  £10
