A trade parking permit allows your business to park one vehicle in any controlled parking zone (CPZ) in Merton, using the designated parking bays.
If you only need to park in one CPZ, a business permit may be more suitable.
Trade parking permits are e-permits and are available to businesses or tradespersons who are required to carry out work on any property within a controlled parking zone.
