    Warning We have temporarily amended this final design for a minimum of six months from 29 August 2023, in order to trial more short stay visitor bays. View our consultation web page for the latest map of the zone and for details of the trial.
  5. Zone introduction

    Completed End of August 2023

    The zone was launched on 29 August 2023. From this date, residents will need to have a valid permit to park in the zone.

    Permits are available in durations of 1, 3, 6 and 12 months and the cost is based on the emissions of your vehicle. As a resident, you can also purchase digital visitor permits even if you are not a permit holder.

  6. ETRO consultation

    Active End of August 2023

    From the launch of the zone (29 August), we are trialling additional short-stay visitor bays in the zone to help prioritise parking for residents while also ensuring adequate provision for visitors to local amenities, such as the GP surgery.

    We are doing this through an Experimental Traffic Regulation Order (ETRO), which temporarily amends the final, approved design for a minimum of 6 months.

  7. 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 also be monitoring the use of the trial short-stay visitor bays as part of our ETRO consultation (see above).

    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.
