For audit purposes, all suspension requests must be received by email. Please email the details of your request to parkingsuspensions@portsmouthcc.gov.uk.
You need to provide:
- your name
- your telephone number
- the reason for the suspension
- the full address of where you would like the suspension
- the length of section of road area required (can be between 5 and 30 metres)
- the start date for the suspension
- the number of days that the suspension is required for (can be between 1 day and 6 months)
We will reply in writing, confirming whether the suspension has been approved and, we will provide you with the total cost. We aim to respond to you within three working days. If you haven’t had a reply by that time, or if your request is urgent, then please call us during our normal business house on 02392 606253 to ensure that we have received your email.
We will allocate a parking suspension as close to your requirements as possible however there may be reasons why we cannot implement a parking suspension exactly to your requirements. If this is the case, we will explain why an alternative location has been suggested.
