Car parks, season tickets, permits and exemptions

Free parking benefits visitors to Brigg, Ashby and Scunthorpe and is to encourage more use of these town centres.

The scheme offers one free ticket a day, for each vehicle, per visit, per site. For example, you can visit Brigg and enjoy two hours free parking with a free ticket. If you choose to return to Brigg the same day, no further free ticket will be issued. However, if on the same day you choose to visit Ashby you can enjoy two hours free parking with a free ticket.

When using the free parking a free pay and display ticket must be obtained from the ticket machine and displayed in your vehicle. Instructions for obtaining a free ticket are located at the ticket machines.

You cannot transfer a free pay and display ticket obtained in one town to another. For example, a ticket obtained in Brigg cannot by used in Ashby or Scunthorpe.

If you require more than two hours in Brigg, Ashby or Scunthorpe, a ticket for the appropriate amount of time should be purchased.

If a driver returns to a town where they have already purchased a ticket for that day, they will not then be able to obtain a free ticket.

Drivers can park for free all day on a Saturday and Sunday. No ticket is required.

We have now changed our cashless payment systems from RingGo to MiPermit. The move to the MiPermit system will provide a better customer experience as all parking permits will now be through the same parking system, meaning customers will only need to set up the one account.

The MiPermit system for cashless parking can be used in all of our pay and display carparks. Log on to our MiPermit portal to set up an account.

The current RingGo cashless payment system will remain live until 15 July to give you time to download the new MiPermit app and set up an account.

Blue badge holders can park free of charge in car bays in any of the car parks providing they display a current badge – wheelchair symbol to the front.

They must not park in a traffic lane or motor cycle bay.

Holders must be in the vehicle at the time of parking or leaving the car park.

Holders should not let friends/family use the badge to collect something for the badge holder if they are not travelling in the vehicle.

The journey must be for the badge holder’s benefit.  If the journey is for someone else, and the holder is a passenger staying in the vehicle the badge cannot be used.

Holders should never allow someone else to use the badge to allow them to benefit from free or better parking.

When the holder is not travelling in the vehicle the badge should be taken out so no-one else can use it.

Holders should never use the badge when is it out of date.

The badge must be on the dashboard or fascia of the vehicle where it can be seen through the windscreen.

It should be displayed showing the front of the badge – that is the side with the wheelchair symbol on it.

Holders should not reproduce or allow anybody to reproduce the badge.

For more information about blue badges and to apply online go to the blue badge scheme page.

Pay and display car parks

Blue badge holders are entitled to park free of charge when displaying a current badge.

Motorcyclists and cyclists can also park for free in designated bays.

What is a dispensation?

A dispensation allows a vehicle to park where there are parking restrictions to allow building work or removals to take place. Parking restrictions include double or single yellow lines and parking bays.

We will only issue a dispensation when it is essential for the vehicle to be on site or when there is no alternative parking. For example, if the vehicle contains a generator needed for the work. In most cases we expect equipment or tools to be unloaded and alternative parking arrangements made.

When unloading, the vehicle should only be parked on site for the shortest period necessary.

A dispensation only applies to a specific vehicle, for the date and location stated in the application.

We will not issue a dispensation if:

• there is alternative off-street parking nearby
• the reason for the application is convenience rather than necessity
• parking at the requested location would cause danger or serious obstruction to other road users or pedestrians.

What is a suspension?

A suspension allows a vehicle to park in a parking bay for longer than the maximum time limit. We will only issue a suspension in specific circumstances such as building work, removals, deliveries and special events.

Applying for a dispensation or suspension

We can issue emergency dispensations or suspensions immediately, but only in very exceptional circumstances. We will not issue them when the reason is simply a lack of forward planning by the applicant.

Applications should be received at least five working days before the required date. There is a £18 administration charge per application for the first day, and £12 for every day following, up to a maximum of £174.

We will not normally issue dispensations or suspensions for more than 14 days (including weekends). If there is reason to extend beyond 14 days, additional charges may apply.

Applications to temporarily suspend off-street car park bays will be considered.

Charges will reflect the potential loss of income, plus administration costs.

Charges only apply when a dispensation or suspension is issued.  You can apply for a dispensation or suspension online.

Please visit our Civil Parking Enforcement page.
