New Parking Restrictions
Request a new parking restriction
If your road or area is not currently listed in the works programme, you can request that it be considered for a future parking consultation.
We welcome suggestions from residents where parking issues are affecting safety, access, or quality of life. All requests will be reviewed and may be added to the waiting list for future consideration, based on factors such as:
- ⚠️ Safety concerns
- 🏘️ Volume of requests from multiple households
- 🚗 High demand from non-residents
- 🏗️ Nearby developments impacting parking

- Public Consultation: Residents are invited to share feedback.
- Decision & Implementation: If approved, a formal Traffic Regulation Order is made and the yellow lines are installed.

Requests for parking schemes—such as resident-only parking—are reviewed once per year.
Process:
- Initial Investigation: Includes site visits and surveys to assess the issue.
- Informal Consultation: May be held to gather local views.
- Workplan Review: If justified, the scheme is added to the waiting list for Lead Councillor review.
- Approval & Scheduling: Approved schemes are scheduled for the following financial year.
- Public Consultation: Community feedback is gathered before final decisions.

- ⚠️ Safety concerns
- 🏘️ Volume of requests from multiple households
- 🚗 High parking demand from non-residents
- 🏗️ Major nearby developments
