All resident permit and visitor vouchers will now be virtual so there will be nothing issued to you to display in your vehicle.

All information relevant to your permit will be stored on the Parking Enforcement Officers handheld computer.

Visitor permits will still be a physical permit which will need to be displayed in the vehicle.
