Parking permits

The Council only operates an annual parking permit scheme for members of the public on our Hants Lane car park in Ormskirk.

A maximum of 50 permits are issued for Hants Lane. When available permits can be purchased at £250 for a year. 

If you wish to apply for a permit please contact the team at the email address in the 'Contact' panel on this page. 

Lancashire County Council operate the following parking permit schemes:

Residents' parking permits

There are currently several streets in West Lancashire with residents' parking schemes for which permits are available. All the streets are located in Ormskirk. Further information about the roads that fall within the scheme and how to apply for a permit may be found at Lancashire County Council (external link).

Request to park in a restricted area

In exceptional circumstances it may be necessary for motorists to park in contravention of a parking restriction when it is necessary for them to undertake work or they are unable to park elsewhere. Requests should be made at least two working days before the dispensation is required. Same-day dispensations can be granted for emergency cases. For more information on how to apply for a dispensation and the criteria were they are issued please visit Lancashire County Council (external link).
