Requesting new parking restrictions
We receive several requests to consider new and amended parking restrictions each year.
To create or change parking restrictions a Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) must be made. This is the legal document behind the restriction that allows the council to enforce any breaches of the restrictions.
The process of implementing a TRO is both lengthy and costly and can take several months to complete. Due to this we are no longer accepting requests to implement restrictions on individual roads.
We are addressing parking issues across the Borough by introducing Controlled Parking Zones (CPZs). Please see below information are CPZs.
Controlled Parking Zones
A controlled parking zone (CPZ) is an area where all streets are subject to parking controls. When you enter a CPZ you will see a large entry sign including a blue circle with a red border and a line through it.
The entry sign tells you the days and the hours of controls for the parking restrictions within the CPZ (individual signs will show any difference).
There are some types of parking bays in a CPZ which are reserved for specific users and may be restricted 24 hours a day.
