New data has revealed that Pembrokeshire County Council raised more than £140,000 from on-street residential parking permits across the latest three financial years.

The figures, obtained through a Freedom of Information request by cinch - the UK’s biggest online used car retailer, show that the council received £140,989.47 in on-street residential permit revenue across the periods covered by the data.

Revenue was:

  • 2023/24: £30,962.79
  • 2024/25: £62,081.80
  • 2025/26: £47,944.88

The council also issued 1,604 on-street residential parking permits across 2024/25 and 2025/26.

In addition, the council issued residential permits for harbour, seasonal car park and all-year car park schemes.

Across all four categories, 941 permits were issued in 2024/25 and 943 in 2025/26.

Pembrokeshire County Council confirmed that its current annual residential parking permit charges range from £29.33 to £200.

The cheapest annual permit costs £29.33 for seasonal car park residents, while an all-year car park permit costs £44.

An on-street residential parking permit currently costs £48, while the most expensive annual permit costs £200 for Tenby Harbour’s scheme.

The council confirmed that on-street residential permit charges were £44 in 2023/24 and 2024/25, before increasing to £46 in 2025/26.

The council also confirmed that prices vary depending on the type of residential parking scheme, with different charges applying to seasonal car parks, all-year car parks, on-street parking and Tenby Harbour.

Pembrokeshire County Council confirmed that it does not currently operate a waiting list for residential parking permits.

Ben Welham, motoring expert at cinch, commented: “Permits can play an important role in managing limited parking space, but councils must strike a fair balance between accessibility and affordability.

“This is particularly important as permit costs increase, particularly for households that rely on more than one vehicle.”
