Residents’ Parking ZonesLes Zônes d’la Parqu’thie ès Résidents

The Residents’ Parking Zones (RPZs) were designed to provide preferential parking for residents in their neighbourhoods that the zones encompass. Only a limited number of permits are issued in order to balance the requirements of permit spaces for residents with pay-card spaces for visitors.

Types of permits

  • Resident Permits – for those living within a RPZ, with a Jersey registered vehicle and no off-street parking on their premises. Please note that residents may only hold one permit at a time.
  • Business Permits – for business owners that operate from an address within a RPZ and have a Jersey registered vehicle, which is used in Jersey exclusively for the purposes of the business.
  • Temporary Permits – available for contractors employed to carry out work within a RPZ. These permits are available for a duration of up to 2 weeks and should be applied for prior to work commencing.

How do I apply for a RPZ permit?

To apply for any of the above types of permits, please complete the Application for RPZ Permit Form which you can download or collect from the Town Hall. You will need to provide proof of residence, such as a utility bill or bank statement dated within the last month, and you may need to produce your vehicle registration document once a permit becomes available.

Please note that waiting lists for each zone vary, and it is impossible to advise exactly how long the wait for a permit will be. As soon as one becomes available, our Customer Services Team will be in contact with you.

    No, there are designated visitor spaces that require a paycard in each zone between the

    9am daily as visitor spaces need to be available for those with residential parking permits between those times.

    There are designated visitor spaces within each Residents Parking Zone that require a paycard to be displayed between the hours of 9am and 10pm Monday to Sunday.

    To ensure that these spaces are being used as intended for visitors all Resident Parking Permit Holders must also display a paycard when using a visitor’s space between these hours.

    Between the hours of 10pm and 9am, these spaces are free to use for Resident Parking Permit Holders and do not require a paycard to be displayed.

  • Can I park in doctor parking bays?

    You can park in doctor parking bays between 6pm and 8am daily.

    You can park in unloading bays outside of the times specified on the signage for loading

    others who are authorised by the Connetable regularly patrol the zones.

    The Parish will make regular checks on the details submitted on applications and can request vehicle registration documents and proof of residency verification at any time from a permit
    holder.

  • What are the penalties if I apply for or hold on to a permit that I am not entitled to?

    will be prosecuted and liable to a fine not exceeding £1,000.
