New online parking permits to offer more flexibility for residents

11 February 2022
This week, Thurrock Council announced changes to significantly improve how it processes and issues parking permits, including permits for business, residents and visitors.
Under the new system, due to go live at the end of March, applicants will instantly be registered on the system and given an electronic permit at the same time they are applying – making the wait for a physical paper permit a thing of the past.
