No — Scottish Borders is not renewing existing parking permits from 1 March 2026 onwards. If your permit is due to expire from 1 March onwards, you can keep using it until 30 June 2026 without any extra charge.
| What this means | Current position |
|---|---|
| Renew existing permit | No, not from 1 March 2026 onwards |
| Existing permit validity | Valid until 30 June 2026 if it was due to expire from 1 March onwards |
| New permits | Not being issued at the moment |
| Next update | Councillors are expected to decide in June 2026, and permit holders will be informed by the end of June |
So if you already have a permit, you don’t need to do anything for now — just keep displaying it as usual.
