Resident Parking Permits
On-street resident parking permit scheme.
Please note: personal data will be collected in order to facilitate the Resident Permit scheme. Data will be collected in accordance with our Privacy Notice.
West Berkshire Council operates on-street permit parking in 
specific residential zones and roads [47KB] where parking is in high demand. The scheme enables residents to purchase parking permits which allow them to park in sections set aside for permit holders.
We use a virtual permit system, provided by the MiPermit portal.
Registering
In order to register an account at a property within the scheme, you will need the property's unique Council Tax Property reference number, which you can find on your Council Tax bill.
If you live in, or are about to move to, a property that falls within the scheme, please apply for a virtual permit on the MiPermit website or call 0345 520 7007.
