   Final design

   You can explore the details of the final design on our interactive map below. We have decided the locations of proposed parking bays and parking restrictions based on detailed safety assessments of the roads covered by the scheme, and your feedback from our previous consultations.

5. Zone introduction

   Expected End of July 2023

   Work to introduce this RPZ will begin in early summer 2023. We estimate that this RPZ will be operational by 31 July 2023. From this date, residents will need to have a valid permit to park in the zone. Applications for permits will open one month before the zones start.

   You can view the progress of the RPZ installation works on our schedule of works page. Residents living in the zone will also receive a letter in the post informing them of how to prepare.

   Please note that schedules and start dates are subject to change and we strongly advise residents to regularly check the schedule for updates.

6. Monitoring and amendments

   To be confirmed Ongoing

   We will undertake parking surveys in the wider area before and after the RPZ is put in place to ensure it’s working and not displacing parking.

   We will be monitoring the impact of the new zones and we welcome feedback from residents and visitors. An annual review of the zones will also help us to address any minor issues.
