We've spoken with SCC Permits, and they're currently working on providing paper-based guest permits alongside the existing online portal.

We're also collaborating to help users understand and improve the electronic system. The plan is to send paper permits when needed via post, so you won't have to pick them up.

They aim to have this ready by the end of the year (if not sooner), and will work on resident paper permits next.

Friendly Reminder

When a new technology system is introduced, there may be some issues and glitches at first, please be mindful of this when using a new system as the team is working hard to fix any problems that come up.

Much like when you update a computer or a phone, there is always a little more that needs fixing.

If you have any problems with the current system, you can contact the organization using the information below:

Here's a helpful tip for iPhone users: You can make the online portal easier to use by adding it to your home screen, almost like having an app. This guide can show you how: here.

This way, you can quickly access the portal when you need to use one of your guest permits.

Following some member feedback that the changes to the permit system are not working well, we are in direct conversation with the council and permit-issuing team to improve the process.

Specifically, we have asked that the option of paper permits be made available to users who are not comfortable using the electric only interface.

We hope that this mechanism should also ensure that those who have had fines from permits that should be active have something to place in the window.

Importantly, we are not asking for the portal and electronic permits to be removed, as for many, this is an improvement to their permit management - despite the teething issues commonly faced when transitioning to a new system.
