Lea Street parking permit
A resident parking permit scheme was introduced in Lea Street, Kidderminster on Friday 17 July 2020. It is designed to give residents and their visitors a better chance of parking close to where they live or are visiting.
Wyre Forest District Council is administering the scheme on behalf of Worcestershire County Council. We will be taking payments and issuing the permits, as well as enforcing the scheme.

Residents of Lea Street may buy a maximum of three residents permits and 320 visitor tickets (with each ticket valid for six hours). A permit does not guarantee residents or visitors a parking space.
The resident permits cost £40.00 each annually. Visitor permits can be purchased in blocks of 80. Each block costs £10.00 and includes 80 visitor tickets with each ticket valid for six hours. Please allow seven working days for resident permits to be authorised.
