Residents' Parking Scheme Consultation - Your chance to have your say

Background

In 2008, we wrote to over 53,000 households in areas around the city centre to gauge opinion on a "test case" Residents' Parking Scheme. As a result of this, the council decided to carry out further work to develop detailed proposals for pilot schemes in Cliftonwood and Kingsdown. See Cabinet Report, 27 November. 2008.

Our final proposals for Clifton and Kingsdown

In November 2009, we consulted on draft designs for the Cliftonwood and Kingsdown pilot areas.

We have listened to comments that were made on these draft proposals and have made a number of changes as a result. We have now developed a final set of proposals, which we would like to hear your views on.

Both schemes have been designed to minimise parking restrictions and maximise the amount of space available for parking, whilst protecting junctions and facilitating access for emergency vehicles.

The majority of parking is prioritised for local residents and other permit holders (eg visitors) only. However, we have also provided some flexibility by including some Pay & Display only parking areas and some parking areas that can be used either by permit holders or by people using the Pay & Display facilities.

You can view the scheme designs for Cliftonwood and Kingsdown here. These show the location of the proposed parking bays and waiting restrictions.

Information about how the scheme will work (types of permit, eligibility criteria etc.) can be viewed in the scheme handbook document.

Alternatively, the scheme operating information and a set of plans for both pilot areas is held at the following libraries for reference and can be accessed during normal opening hours:

Bristol Central Library, College Green
Clifton Library, Princess Victoria Street
Redland Library, Whiteladies Road
Cheltenham Road Library, Cheltenham Road
