We have created a number of residents' permit schemes [https://www.coventry.gov.uk/directory/88/a_to_z].
These zones aim to protect on-street parking spaces outside people's houses, in areas where parking is limited, and problems are caused by parking by commuters and shoppers, etc.
Permits are available online, via the Permit Portal [http://coventry.tarantopermits.com/], for businesses in a Virtual Permit Zone.
Parking in a Residents' Parking Zone when it is in operation without a valid permit is not allowed and you are likely to get a parking ticket.
If you do have a parking permit you should be aware that this does not guarantee you a place to park your vehicle, it only gives you permission to do so if space is available.
There are new Permit Schemes in the City Centre
