The permit policy in the Scottish Borders is set to undergo changes by June 2026. Currently, the council is reviewing the parking service, which may lead to new guidelines regarding existing parking permits, including the possibility of increased charges.
Here’s a summary of the expected changes:
| Current Status | Expected Changes |
|---|---|
| No new parking permits issued since March 2026. | A decision on the future of parking permits will be made by late June 2026. |
| Existing permits valid until 30 June 2026 without additional charges. | Councillors will consider an increase in charges for permits during the review. |
| Permits expiring after March will still be allowed until the end of July 2026. | More detailed information will be provided to permit holders by the end of July 2026. |
It’s a good idea to keep an eye on your council's updates as the new policy comes into effect, so you can prepare for any changes that might affect you. You can stay informed through the Scottish Borders parking permits page.
