Guidance notes for residents

The purpose of the proximity reader cards is to allow entry and exit through the gate, to residents who have a vehicle registered to them, at their address, and who live within the specified area.

You can apply for a reader card by post. If you have never applied for a resident permit for Green Lanes Controlled Parking Zone, you will have to provide proof of residence and proof of vehicle ownership when making your application, as you will not be registered on our system.

Payment and charges

Your first Reader Card is free of charge, to residents who can provide proof of address and proof of vehicle ownership in one of the roads mentioned.

The number of cards issued per household is dependent on the number of vehicles owned (or Company vehicles) that a household has, i.e. if the household has two resident permits, or can prove ownership of two vehicles, the household will be permitted a maximum of two reader cards. A reader card will not be issued based on the number of adults in the household.

Each applicant will be provided with only one reader card free of charge.

The cost of replacement of a damaged or worn out card is an administration cost of £10. To receive a replacement for a damaged or worn out card, you must give back the original card. If the original card is not surrendered, then it will be deemed to be lost and the charges detailed below will apply.

If a card is lost or misplaced the following charges will apply:

• £50 for the first replacement card;
• £100 for the second replacement card;
• £250 for the third replacement card.

A reader card will only be replaced three times. Following this no more cards will be issued to the applicant for a period of at least twelve months.
