Dispensations

Wrexham Council offers a service for vehicles that need to park outside premises in order to complete works or deliver heavy items.

Dispensations

A yellow line dispensation allows people to park on a single yellow line (or in special cases on double yellow lines) if a vehicle is required to carry out a specific work purpose, there is a need to be as close to the premises as possible and there is no alternative parking space available.

They are generally not for use on areas with a loading ban (usually indicated by markings on the pavement kerb).

Eligibility Criteria

You may be eligible for a dispensation if you fall into one of the following three categories:

• Your vehicle is too large to fit within a normal parking bay (e.g. trailer/generator attached/commercial vehicle) and you need to park as close as possible to the premises on a yellow line.
• You are carrying out one of the following types of work or handling one of the following substances:
  • Carrying or towing a tar boiler
  • Removal and loading of asbestos
  • Carrying hazardous or dangerous chemicals for use at the premises
  • Glass/window installation where a glass rack is fitted to the vehicle’s side
  • Sand blasting or equivalent where cables or tubes run from the vehicle to the façade or inside of a building
  • A mobile workshop having equipment fitted to the floor of the vehicle (e.g. welding equipment, generators or compressors)
  • Handling roofing or drainage equipment
