Permit parking scheme
Controlled parking zones (CPZs) entail the setting of an area in which all kerb space is controlled by either yellow lines or designated parking bays, including resident bays.
CPZs are often referred to as resident parking zones because they are used for situations where on-street parking is severely congested and the kerb-space is managed appropriately predominantly for the benefit of residents.
A charge for permits is applied to cover the cost of administration and enforcement, but no profit is made from the operation of such schemes.
Residents requesting parking controls for their street may be asked to evidence that there is support for them. The Council's Transport Engineer will provide a petition header that can be used with advice on the number of households that must sign up before a scheme will be considered.
