If you live or work in a controlled parking or permit access only road you will need a permit to park and/or access your road.

Any delivery driver or service provider trying to pass a vehicle permit checkpoint will need to provide proof of manifest/order confirmation to the address they are travelling to, along with their personal company ID.
