On-street paper parking permits will be replaced by digital alternatives in controlled Parking Zones in East Grinstead from today (Tuesday).
With digital permits there is no need to display anything in the vehicle window, drivers simply purchase the permit online and receive an email notification once it is active.
There are no Controlled Parking Zones in Burgess Hill, Haywards Heath, or any other parts of mid-Sussex, so on-street residential or business parking permits are not required there.
Traditional paper permits will remain valid until they expire, at which point motorists will switch to the new digital system if they choose to renew.
Resident, visitor, and business permits are available for purchase.
Jo Reid, Head of Contracts and Services at Mid Sussex District Council, said:
“There are numerous benefits to using a digital permit system, including reducing the impact we have on the environment by not issuing paper and plastic permit holders.
"There is also added convenience for customers being able to manage parking at any time, rather than having to wait for physical permits to be produced and posted.
“Previous customer feedback has supported the move to digital permits, but we will always provide services which are suitable for everyone.”
Residents without online access will be able to request a paper application from mid-Sussex District Council’s Parking Services team by calling 01444 477212 (option 2) or by emailing parkinginfo@midsussex.gov.uk.
Those with unused paper visitor permits will still be able to use them after today.
