We offer a service for vehicles that need to park outside premises in order to complete works or deliver heavy items.

About yellow line dispensations

The 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).

There are some roads in Wrexham town centre that are subject to an 'access only' restriction which means you may also need permission from the police to access a particular road as well as from us.

Eligibility criteria

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

    • Carrying or towing a tar boiler
