or pay and display parking spaces on streets specified on the permit.

This permit is for customers wanting to reserve parking while carrying out
filming / events. If customer wishes to actually hold their filming / event in
the street.

space we cannot tow them. The permit allows you to reserve the space but cannot
guarantee you a park. To ensure the spaces applied for are not parked in by
members of the public - you must:

courtesy, in advance
We suggest that you also do one or more of the following:
- cone the area off - early morning is generally best
- have marshals onsite to ensure that the cones are not moved
- park other vehicles within the cone taper, and move them just before you
need to park your other vehicles/equipment there.
