Permit holders in city centre zones are set to lose the right to park in pay and display (P&D) slots under new plans by Edinburgh City Council.
The council have begun to issue letters to motorists warning them against parking in P&D spots and have said that they could be fined or have their cars towed in future if they fail to abide by the new rules.
The changes came into effect from May 1 but it appears as though the local authority are allowing for a grace period for residents to get used to the changes.
