The permit scheme for Dartford residents is changing. From 1 April 2023 there will be a county wide cross border policy and all non-Kent residents will be required to pay £10 per visit to use KCC HWRCs, so the Dartford permit won't be required. Read more about our cross border policy.

Height barrier

2 metres (6 foot 6 inches) - read about vehicles allowed.
