Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council

Parking waiver

Stockton Borough Council has the discretion, in certain circumstances, to issue a dispensation to a vehicle to park lawfully in what otherwise would be a contravention of a Traffic Regulation Order (TRO). It allows parking where alternative arrangements cannot be made for the following reasons:

• Loading/unloading where this activity is either normally prohibited or the permitted period is insufficient.
• Situations where alternative arrangements would be unsatisfactory.

A dispensation does not permit general 'parking'. It does not allow the vehicle to remain in the restricted area once the dispensation purpose has been fulfilled.
