What does access in Belfast add to the price?

On nidirect's Residents' parking zone permits page, read on 15 October 2026, residents in a zone can ask the Department for Infrastructure (DfI) Roads Division to suspend spaces. Give 24 hours' notice to organise the suspension of parking enforcement. Contractors can hire a space for builder's vehicles or skips at £50.00 a week per space. In a Belfast residents' zone DfI Roads runs the street, not the city council, so a missed notice can become waiting time. The UK has no national remover licence. Before you pay a deposit, check the firm on Companies House, the goods-in-transit insurance limit, and how waiting time is charged if keys are late.

The van is early, the bay is still full of residents' cars, and someone is on the phone to DfI Roads hoping the 24-hour notice actually landed yesterday.
