This process is for residents of Leicestershire. For properties in Leicester City please apply for an H marking with Leicester City Council.
You can apply to have a white line marked on the road in front of your access area, or to have an existing one renewed (repainted).
Before you apply
Protective entrance markings (access protection) cannot be legally enforced; they are advisory only.
Unfortunately, if a vehicle parks on your marking the Council are also unable to enforce their removal.
H-bar markings may not be used as a reserved parking space and any proven abuse in this way would result in its removal.

For a new protective entrance marking:
- Up to 10m - £275

Apply online for a protective entrance H-bar marking
We will assess whether your application for a protective entrance marking is appropriate at the location requested.
If your application is successful we will email you to confirm. This can take up to 10 days.
Painting of your H-bar
Adverse weather conditions such as rain, frost or snow may prevent installation.
To keep the charges for this work as low as possible, work will be undertaken when we next have a programme of work in your area.
We would normally expect this to be within 3 months, however it can take up to 6 months.
