Car park permits
Harborough District Council has a fast, convenient and more environmentally-friendly permit system for all its car parks - electronic permits (‘e-permits’). Click the button below to visit the E-permit site, then click Business Permits or Resident Season Tickets, as required. The reference number required for residents' tickets is your Council Tax number:
Once the e-permit application is completed online it is effective immediately and does not need to be displayed in a vehicle. Harborough District Council’s Civil Enforcement Officers (CEOs), who monitor parking in the district, are able to check if a valid permit is in place simply by checking your vehicle’s registration number using a handheld device.
The number of permits for each site has been calculated to ensure that they will not exceed capacity. There are no permit-only spaces but permit holders should always be able to find a space.
Once a permit has expired, it will not automatically be reissued – a new application must be made.

Stamford Close car park permits
Stamford Close car park is for residents of Nithsdale Avenue only upon display of a valid permit. There is a charge of £40 per year for a permit.
Due to increasing demand for space in this car park it is now necessary to restrict residents permits to one per household. You may still have two registrations on one permit.
Residential parking permits
Leicestershire County Council manages all residents’ parking in Leicestershire. Find out more about residents' parking permits and how to apply.
Harborough District Council parking permit terms and conditions
