Town centre workers permit
If you work in Gravesend Town Centre, you can apply for a Town Centre Worker (TCW) Permit which allows you to park in the following car parks at a discounted rate.
- Milton Place & Ordnance Road ANPR Car Park
- Gurdwara Pay & Display Car Park (Monday to Friday Only)
How much does it cost?
The TCW Permit itself is free of charge and then you pay for parking, at the discounted rate every day you want to park. The TCW tariff is £1.50 for up to five hours parking and £3.00 for 10 hours.
How do I pay?
Once you have confirmation that you have a valid TCW permit, you can obtain the discounted rate in the car parks detailed above. Payment options differ between our Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) and Pay & Display car parks.

Please do not create more than one account per person. If you have changed your email address and need to amend this, you can make this change within your account under the ‘my details’ section. Creating more than one account per resident will result in delays processing your application and will result in the cancellation of any existing permits/accounts to accommodate the new account.
