Guildford Borough Council have introduced a Green Scheme, which enables owners of Electric Vehicles to apply for a Green Parking Permit free of charge, which gives discounted parking in Car Parks.

An applicant is required to provide a copy of the Vehicle Registration Document (V5C) on application, which would confirm the vehicle, was powered solely by electricity.

The permit must be displayed on the front of the vehicle to which the permit relates.  Failure to display the permit will result in a Penalty Charge.

It is necessary for drivers to buy a pay and display ticket on arrival at the Car Park. Your three hours free parking will be calculated from the expiry of your pay and display ticket.

Exception to the rule is if you park in Bedford Road Multi Storey Car Park in one of the Green Bays allocated.  These bays will be free of charge with a valid Green Parking Permit.

Also free of charge are Ash Vale and Shalford Park Car Parks.

Please find a list of Car Parks below to which the Green Scheme applies:

• Bedford Road Multi Storey (Two green bays)
• Leapale Road Multi Storey
• Bedford Road Surface
• Millbrook
• Civic Hall
• Commercial Road 2
• Mary Road

• Upper High Street
• College Road/Bellerby (Saturdays Only)
• Lawn Road (Saturdays Only)
• Robin Hood (Saturdays Only)
• St Josephs Church (Saturdays Only)
• Portsmouth Road (Saturdays Only)

These Car Parks can be used on Sundays but normal Sunday rates apply.
