Supplementary Parking Scratchcards for Landlords

Scratchcards have been introduced in permit parking schemes to allow landlords to visit the properties they own and maintain or to support viewings of properties.  These scratchcards can also be used by letting/property management agents acting on behalf of a property owner/landlord or could be an option for a tradesman engaged by a landlord to work on a property.

Landlord scratchcards are allocated to those persons owning but not residing in a property within the boundaries of a permit parking scheme.  They have been introduced so that landlords can visit their premises to carry out necessary repairs and safety checks.

Details will be scratched off to show the relevant date and the permit zone and vehicle registration number are displayed.

What coverage does a Landlord scratchcard provide?

This type of scratchcard provides coverage for a whole day up until midnight of the date indicated on the scratchcard.
