If you live within a Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ), you can buy visitor parking sessions so your friends or relatives can park near your home
How does it work?
Using the pay-as-you-go RingGo service, you add parking sessions to a digital wallet and redeem them when a visitor parks near your home.
To use the service you need a RingGo account
If you don't already have one, you can register when you apply. Existing RingGo customers can log in using their account details. You will still need to apply for a permit to purchase visitor sessions.
For technical support with your RingGo account, view their help pages or use their contact page at http://myringgo.com/callus
Do I need to have a parking permit myself?
No. Your address just needs to be in one of the district's CPZs.
The postcode search in the online application will tell you if your address is within a CPZ.
Annual allowance
Each household is entitled to a maximum of 100 per rolling 12 month period.
At the end of this rolling 12 month period, you will have to renew your visitor permit account to be able to keep booking sessions for your visitors. You'll receive an email with details of how to do this a month before your renewal date.
Validity
Visitor permit parking sessions are valid for one calendar day.

Adding visitor permit parking sessions
Once your application has been authorised, you'll be able to add parking sessions to your account by logging into your RingGo account.
You must buy a minimum of five sessions at a time, which costs £6.60.
Activating a parking session

There's no requirement to display any physical parking permit.
