Am I entitled to a resident permit?
Residents are entitled to buy up to two resident parking permits per property, allowing you to park in the zone where you live, if you are:
- a permanent resident at an address within the controlled parking zone and
- the registered keeper of the vehicle
You will need to provide proof of this with your permit application.

Permits are virtual and linked to the vehicle registration number.
Where can I park?
Download a map of Eastbourne parking zones A, B, G, N and S [1.0 MB] [pdf] or zones M and R [979.5 KB] [pdf].
The maps show the zone boundary, you can park within the correct zone for your permit in:
- resident permit holders only bays.
- permit holder only bays.
- shared use (permit holders or time limited) bays.
- shared use (permit holders or pay and display) bays.
When parking, the letter on the sign must show the same letter that your permit is valid for. There is no time limit.
Having a permit does not guarantee you a parking space.
Resident permits are not valid in any other bay or off-street car park.

There is a £5 administration fee for processing refunds, which will be deducted from the refund amount. We can only refund full remaining months.
Just moved to Eastbourne?
You will need to change the details on the vehicle registration document and provide proof of your new address, for example, a tenancy agreement or letter from your solicitor providing details of the completion of the mortgage.
We can only issue a three month permit until these changes have been made and you have provided the correct documents.
