Carers Parking Permits

A carers parking permit can be used in any residents parking places owned by MK Council without displaying a residents permit. 

Please note that the permit is only valid when the carer is making a house call to the resident and the vehicle must not be parked any longer than the duration of the house call.

From December 2021: MK Council employees are required to show a letter from HR confirming that you are a carer required to visit the patient at their place of residence where a resident permit parking scheme is in effect. 

The cost of your permit will depend on what type of permit you are buying.
