If you are a business owner living or working in the Grays town centre or Stanford-le-Hope controlled parking zones or any parking permit area, you may be eligible to apply for a parking permit to enable you to park in one of these zones or areas.
This permit allows you to park your vehicle:

- in a shared-use parking bay – this is a bay where resident parking permit holders and motorists displaying a valid pay-and-display ticket can park
- at the location for which you have a Thurrock Council permit to carry out works, as long as you don't cause a parking obstruction
Business parking permits are issued for 1 month, 6 months or 1 year. The charges are as follows.
