Resident and visitor parking permits

Parking schemes are in place on some roads to improve parking for residents and visitors.

Unless you have a permit to park on these roads, parking is only for the limited period that is indicated on road signs.

Properties within these parking schemes are entitled to up to three residents permits for vehicles registered at the property, as well as one annual visitor permit.

Virtual parking permits are issued and issued using MiPermit. All permits are valid for a period of 12 months, or part thereof, from the 1st April until the 31st March the following year.

Residents’ parking schemes are in place on:

  • Archer Road
  • Beaufort Street
  • Grove Street
  • Other Road (part)
  • Prospect Hill
  • South Street
  • Station Way

The Smallwood group which includes:

  • Lodge Road
  • Marsden Road
  • Millsborough Road
  • Mount Street
  • Summer Street
  • Union Street

Smallwood permit holders can park in any of the roads in that group.

Applying for parking permits

Permits need to be applied for using MiPermit, by visiting their website signing into your account or creating a new account at  https://secure.mipermit.com/redditch

Once you have created an account with MiPermit you can select which types of permit and road you wish to have permit(s) for.

Conditions of use

2025/26 scheme

Residents who currently have permits for the 2024/25 scheme which expire on the 31st March 2025 and have registered an email address, will receive an email reminder at the end of January or start of February 2025 that their permits are due to expire and inviting them to renew.

Renewals will be available on MiPermit 30 days before expiry (2nd March 2025) and all permits including visitors’ permits must be renewed before the 1st April 2025. Failure to renew permits before this date may result in the issue of a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN).

It is important that 25/26 is imputed in the Financial Year field of the application for the permit to ensure that a permit with the correct expiry date is issued.

Fees and details

Residents’ permits cost £10 each to cover administrative costs.

Vehicles must be registered at the property. Up to three residents’ permits may be issued per property, as well as one free visitors’ permit for the use of bona fide visitors only.

Worcestershire County Council are responsible for the introduction of a new residents scheme. Further information can be found here
