The Business Waiver permit gives flexibility to trades people who need to park to visit a customer.

This permit allows parking within Isle of Wight Council pay and display areas (both on and off street) and within resident parking bays. The permit will give the tradesperson time to complete their business with the customer that they are visiting.

The permit is not valid at any other time.

Permits cost £960 (or £80 per month).
