Parking enforcement

A waiver permit allows a person or company to be exempt from some parking restrictions. 

Traders must display one when parking on a road with restrictions. We do not issue them to private motor vehicles. Each waiver permit must  be issued to a specific vehicle.

They do not apply to utility companies carrying out emergency works.

We may issue a permit where:

• constant access to a vehicle is vital to carry out works
• parking close to a premises is essential for work demands

A waiver permit generally allows the user to park in:

• time-limited waiting bays
• resident permit bays

We may allow one for a single yellow line, if no loading restrictions are in force.

We do not usually grant permission to park: 

• on double yellow lines
• in bays designated for specific vehicle classes, such as disabled or loading bays

How to apply

Each permit costs £20. Our fees will increase from 1 April 2023.  If you require further information on the new charges please email waiverpermits@lincolnshire.gov.uk

There is a limit of six permits per application. This is only granted if the location allows. If you need more, you must email waiverpermits@lincolnshire.gov.uk before you apply.

You must give us at least five working days notice to process your application.  If you require a waiver permit for emergency works email waiverpermits@lincolnshire.gov.uk prior to submitting your application.

You need to apply to extend or amend an existing permit. This will cost £20.

Apply for a waiver permit

Once a waiver has been issued:

• it is only valid for parking as stated on the permit
• you must print it in colour and put it on display at all times
• you must not deposit goods on the footpath
• you may get a Penalty Charge Notice if we believe you are abusing the rules

We may revoke a parking waiver for any reason we see fit, such as suspected misuse. We also have the right to refuse an application at any time.
