Dispensations

Wrexham Council offers a service for vehicles that need to park outside premises in order to complete works or deliver heavy items.

Dispensations

A yellow line dispensation allows people to park on a single yellow line (or in special cases on double yellow lines) if a vehicle is required to carry out a specific work purpose, there is a need to be as close to the premises as possible and there is no alternative parking space available.

They are generally not for use on areas with a loading ban (usually indicated by markings on the pavement kerb).

There are some roads in Wrexham Town Centre that are subject to an 'access only' restriction which means you may also need permission from the Police to access a particular road as well as from the Council.

Eligibility Criteria

You may be eligible for a dispensation if you fall into one of the following three categories:

Your vehicle is too large to fit within a normal parking bay (e.g. trailer/generator attached/commercial vehicle) and you need to park as close as possible to the premises on a yellow line.
You are carrying out one of the following types of work or handling one of the following substances:
- Carrying or towing a tar boiler
- Removal and loading of asbestos
- Carrying hazardous or dangerous chemicals for use at the premises
- Glass/window installation where a glass rack is fitted to the vehicle’s side
- Sand blasting or equivalent where cables or tubes run from the vehicle to the façade or inside of a building
- A mobile workshop having equipment fitted to the floor of the vehicle (e.g. welding equipment, generators or compressors)
- Handling roofing or drainage equipment
Funerals
