Doncaster Council

Residents Parking Scheme

Doncaster Council operates a Residents Parking Scheme in four areas of Doncaster town centre. 
They are:    

1. Elmfield Park 
2. Gordon and Stewart Street   
3. Doncaster Central
4. St. James Street                  

Permits under the schemes above are issued on the basis of one free permit per household, and enable residents to park their vehicles, or a visitor's vehicle, without a time restriction in the parking places on the streets covered by the scheme. 

The terms and conditions of Doncaster Council residents parking scheme are as follows:

2. Issue permits to residents which will then allow them to park a vehicle or, if they prefer, a visitor's vehicle without a time restriction in the parking places.                  

Permits 

1. The responsibility for obtaining a permit rests with the residents. 
2. A resident may apply for a permit whether or not he/she owns a vehicle.
