Please note: The BQ (Business Quarter) refers to a small area within the Inner Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ). Residents within this zone are eligible for a resident permit which allows parking between 5:00 pm and 9:00 am, Monday to Friday, and all day on weekends and Bank Holidays. Parking outside of these permitted hours is subject to the applicable pay-and-display charges. This arrangement reflects the principle of city-centre living, where access to daily amenities and public transport is intended to reduce the need for private vehicle use. Visitor permits are not issued for this zone.
