Kingsdown Residents' Parking Scheme

Sections:

Latest News - 20th August 2010

We have written to all residents and businesses with the following information.

Do you have an off-street parking place? You have until 17th September to tell us if you do not want double yellow lines.

As part of the scheme, we will be protecting all off-street parking places (e.g. driveways, garages, front garden parking, hardstanding etc.) with double yellow lines to prevent them from being obstructed. However, this will mean that no-one, including you, will be able to park there.

During the recent consultation some residents told us they would prefer not to have double yellow lines installed so they can park their vehicles across their drive.

If you own a property in the residents’ parking scheme area and would like to be able to park across your driveway or garage access, let us know and, unless there are safety reasons to keep them, we will not paint double yellow lines.

However, this means that the council will not be able to prevent other vehicles from parking there.

If you don’t want double yellow lines in front of your driveway, please let us know by completing the form and return to:

Kingsdown Residents’ Parking Scheme (SL/WH)
FREEPOST BS6529
BRISTOL
BS1 5BR

or email respark@bristol.gov.uk by Friday 17th September 2010. You must tell us before this date because after this the legal order will be sealed and we will not be able to change it.

If you have a disabled bay this will not be affected.

What happens next:

From late September until December – Lines and signs will be installed but will not be operational until January 2011. During this time parking will be restricted in stages across the area to accommodate the works. Residents will be notified in advance of these works.
October 2010 – Resident and business permit application forms sent out (please note that you will not receive your permit until nearer the start date of the scheme)
January 2011 – scheme will become operational
