Motorhomes Enforcement and Permits 10 June 2020

following a review of the situation regarding motorhomes enforcement and eligibility for permits, it has been decided that motorhomes are allowed to apply for a permit and use the permit bays to park, however, the existing length and weight conditions (i.e. not more than 3.5 tonnes laden or 1525kg unladen and less than 6m in length) will remain and will still apply to these vehicles.  If your motorhome fits within the above criteria you may apply for a permit or continue using your existing permit.  It is the applicants responsibility to ensure that the height and weight criteria is met.
