Consultation has concluded
We are asking residents living in an area covered by a resident parking scheme to spare a few minutes to tell us what they think about the current scheme. Let us know which parts of the current Resident Parking Permit Policy, if any, need to be updated.
Why are we consulting?
A group of Councillors from the Environment and Sustainability Scrutiny Committee are currently reviewing the permit policy and this consultation is part of the evidence gathering for their review. Following their review, the group will make recommendations for Cabinet consideration.
As car ownership and usage has increased so too has the demand for on-street parking, and it is recognised that this often exceeds the highway space available in many residential areas. While the desires for residents to be able to park near their homes is understood, there is no obligation on Highway Authorities to provide parking on the public highway. The public highway is provided and maintained at public expense to facilitate the passage of people, traffic and goods, and it is the vehicle owners' responsibility to ensure that adequate parking is available for the vehicles that they own.
The Council can introduce residents' only parking schemes, however it should be noted that they are not a solution to a situation where the number of residents' vehicles exceeds the available on-street parking provision.
The current policy was last reviewed in 2019 and is currently being reassessed to ensure its suitability moving forward.
