We are aware that during August some residents obtained more than their allowance of free visitor parking permits. These extra permits have now been cancelled. If you believe we may have cancelled a free visitor parking permit within your allowance, please contact us by email at resident.permits@thurrock.gov.uk – we apologise for any inconvenience.
If you live in a controlled parking zone (CPZ) or permit parking area (PPA), you may be eligible for either a resident parking permit or – if you don't have a vehicle of your own – a visitor voucher authorisation.
With a resident parking permit or visitor voucher authorisation you can use short-stay visitor parking permits so your visitors, including trades people, can park in the zone or area.
You can also apply for a visiting carers parking permit.
If eligible, you can select:
You can buy up to 9 visitor parking permits at any one time.

|---|---|
| Visitor permit, first 100 hours – 20 permits, each valid for 5 hours | Free |
| Visitor permit, additional 5 hours | 45p |
| Visitor permit, additional all day | 75p |
