Dear Sir/Madam
ELMFIELD– RESIDENT’S PARKING SCHEME
We would like to bring to your attention some changes to the resident’s parking scheme which is administered in your area by Doncaster Council.
Last year the Council undertook afurther consultation with all residents in the various schemes we operate and the results have shown that the majority of residents wish for the schemes to continue in their current format including the charges set by the Council. We would like to thank you for your participation in the consultation which was successful given the number of residents whom took part in this process.
With this in mind, we will continue to operate the parking scheme in your area during 2016/17 at the charges detailed below. You will therefore need to apply for a parking permit before the 22nd January 2016 in time for the scheme to re-commence in its usual format and your parking permit will then be issued with the same anniversary date as before; 7th February.
Residential Properties
The first permit for residential properties will be charged at £25.00 and this fee will also be charged for any additional permits to a maximum of 4 per property. A copy of the vehicle registration document(s)must be provided which are registered to the property address in question along with proof of residency. In the case of residents that use company vehicles, the application must be accompanied by a letter of confirmation from your employer (on company official headed paper with contact details) that this vehicle is allocated to an employee at an address within the scheme.
Carer’s Permits
Carer permit application forms can be issued upon request though all carer permits will be charged at £25.00 per permit. Permits will only be issued if the resident qualifies under set criteria and are only for the use of a driver when undertaking carer duties. Please contact the Council for further information.
Charity Organisations
Charity Organisations will be issued one permit at a cost of £25.00 and one additional permit can also be purchased at £25.00 per annum when accompanied with a copy of both your proof of residency and a copy of the vehicle registration document(s)for up to two vehicles.
Business Premises
Business premises will be issued the first permit at £50.00 and any additional permits will be charged at £50.00 per annum to a maximum of 4 per property. A copy of the vehicle registration document(s)must be provided which are registered to the property address in question, accompanied with proof of residency. Business’s operating within the scheme but do not have any vehicles registered to a property within the scheme are entitled to the first permit at a cost of £50.00 and one additional permit charged at £50.00 per annum.
Landlords
Landlords will be entitled to one permit at a cost of £100.00. Proof of property ownership must be supplied along with a copy of the vehicle registration document in the Landlords name. Landlords are not eligible for visitor vouchers.
Cont.
Visitors
In order to make it easier for residents to accommodate visitors, each household within the scheme area will now be able to apply for one day visitors vouchers. These vouchers are in the form of single day scratch cards that can be given to visitors for them to display in their vehicle and allow them to park in the scheme area.
Each household is entitled to 50day vouchers at a batch cost of £25.00for the scheme year. Any additional voucherscan still be purchased at a cost of £2.50 per voucher.
In order to request a parking permit and/orvisitor vouchers, please complete the application form attached and accompany this with the appropriate payment(s), proof of residency and copy of vehicle registration document(s) if applicable.
Payment can be made by cheque or postal order payable to: Doncaster MBC. Please return your completed application and payment to the address below.
All types of permits will entitle the holder to park their vehicle in the on-street limited waiting bays. The existing limited waiting time periods will continue to operate and allow visitors to access short stay parking without the need for a visitors voucher.
Next steps
It is important that you apply for your new parking permit before the 22nd January 2016 so your application can be processed and you can continue to park your vehicle. Your parking permit will be issued with the same anniversary date as per previous years: 7th February.
Permits will be issued with a single vehicle registration mark printed on them, and a copy of your vehicle registration document must be produced showing evidence that the vehicle is registered to an address within the scheme. This is to ensure that permits are only issued to vehicles that belong to residents within the scheme area which will reduce the opportunity for permits to be misused.
See below for various types of proof of residency required for your permit and/or voucher application.
Please provide a copy of one of the following documents / bills :-
Rent book, Tenancy agreement, Gas/Electricity bill, Water bill, Landline bill, TV Licence, Council Tax or Business Rates.
(All must be dated within the last 6 months and accompanied with payment and a copy of the vehicle registration document (where applicable).
