Tradesman Scratchcard Permit
A Tradesman Scratchcard is needed when you are working on a shorter term project in a parking permit area. These can be bought in daily or weekly bundles.
These permits can be used in any street within the same permit zone that is on the scratchcard (for example, J2, OB1, G3) during the hours of enforcement. You can only use them for work vehicles, not for staff parking.
