Council benefits for unpaid carers
Carer's parking permit
If you care for someone who lives in the borough, whether as part of your job or unpaid, you can apply for a carer’s parking permit.
The permit lets you:
- park on the street of the person you care for
- stay for up to 2 hours
Carer’s parking permits last for one year, and you may need to pay a fee.

Council tax discount for carers
A council tax discount may be available to a council tax payer if the only other resident qualifies to be “disregarded” as a “ carer”.
