Parking place reserved for permit holders
A blue square with white P and 'permit holders only'. Spaces here are reserved for vehicles with the relevant council-issued permit on display. Parking without a permit (during the controlled hours) gets you a Penalty Charge Notice, towed vehicle, or both. Out-of-hours rules vary by council.
