The cost of residents\u2019 parking permits has increased across Bristol today (April 8). While the increase is fairly minimal in most resident parking scheme (RPS) areas, residents of Easton<\/a> and St Philips suffer from a big jump in prices.<\/p>\n The council continues to determine the cost of a household\u2019s first permit based on the vehicle\u2019s CO2 emissions, with people driving higher-polluting vehicles being hit hardest in the pocket.<\/p>\n In Easton and St Philips, the price of a permit for a Band A vehicle\u2014one which emits up to 100g of CO2 per kilometre\u2014has soared from \u00a362 to \u00a3129, a 108% increase. A Band B vehicle, emitting between 101 and 110g of CO2 per kilometre, now costs \u00a3129 a year up from \u00a374.<\/p>\n Permits for higher emission vehicles have also jumped from \u00a385 to \u00a3129 for vehicles in Bands C to K and \u00a3127 to \u00a3193 for vehicles in Bands L and M.<\/p>\n In most other areas of the city, the cost for a first permit for low-emission vehicles has increased from \u00a3124 to \u00a3129. High-emission vehicles (Bands L to M) have seen their first permit cost rise from \u00a3186 to \u00a3193.<\/p>\n This year\u2019s increase brings St Philips and Easton in line with the rest of the city, which experienced a similar rise in prices in early 2025.<\/p>\n In all RPS areas, the cost of a second permit is now \u00a3233 a year with a third permit coming in at a massive \u00a3583 a year.<\/p>\n
