Essex
Parking
Partnership

The Parking Partnership is a Council-run organisation which brings together all street-based parking services in Essex.

The aim is to administer the parking rules to a fair, proportionate and consistent standard in order to provide a service in a reasonable and responsible way.

MiPermit is an online parking account where you will be able to make and book stays, purchase permits and tickets and manage your vehicle details. You can register for free to use this service at the North Essex MiPermit portal or the South Essex MiPermit portal.

The service is a partnership between Essex County Council and 12 Borough/City/District Councils and is run in two areas:

• the North Essex Parking Partnership (led by Colchester City Council)
• the South Essex Parking Partnership (led by Chelmsford City Council)

Each Partnership is responsible for:

• its area's on-street Civil Enforcement Officers ("traffic wardens")
• the enforcement process, together with challenges to, and payments of, parking penalties ("parking fines")
• the administration of the parking restrictions ("yellow lines") and the management and maintenance of permit schemes

Full detail of each area's standards and services is shown below.
