Osborne Road Controlled Parking Zone
Why is this needed?
Residents, shoppers, local businesses and others currently compete for limited on-street parking space. Parking controls would offer better balance to local parking arrangements and give priority to residents.
How will it help?
A CPZ is an area where residents are given parking priority over other drivers through a permit system.
An all-day control period was favoured at the previous consultation exercise.
Removing the availability of free all-day parking across the area should encourage commuters to consider more sustainable travel options for their daily journeys, helping reduce parking pressure and local congestion in Osborne Road and promoting more physical exercise across the community.
