The effect of the Order will be to amend the existing Foreshore and Off Street Parking Places Consolidation Order and Parking Places Consolidation Order to allow for the introduction of the issue of virtual permits.
All parking permits / permits / season tickets currently available in a paper format may be issued in an electronic format at the request of the customer as a virtual permit not requiring display.
