Musselburgh Residents Parking Permit - Extension Notice

Current parking permits are due to expire on 31 October 2025. As part of the ongoing parking consultations, East Lothian Council has decided to extend all current residential and visitor permits by two years. Your existing permit will now be valid until 31 October 2027. 

No action is required. Please continue to display your current permit. A letter will be issued to residents over the coming weeks in relation to renewals.

If you change your vehicle during this time period, email parking@eastlothian.gov.uk to organise a replacement permit with the correct vehicle details.
