Parking dispensations

A parking dispensation allows a vehicle to park on a waiting restriction (yellow line) in circumstances where the vehicle needs to be close to a specific location.  For example, for carrying out works that require continuous access to a building for loading or unloading goods or materials; or in connection with funerals, blood transfusion services, health screening, domestic removals, etc.
