Update on permit arrangements within the Bowes Primary Quieter Neighbourhood

The Bowes Primary Quieter Neighbourhood permit trial began in September 2025. The trial allows eligible residents to apply for a permit so that one vehicle registered to their address can pass through the camera‑enforced modal filter on Warwick Road.

During the trial, elected members indicated their support in principle for extending the arrangements to allow households to hold up to two permits. Officers were instructed to prepare for this change and have completed the necessary system work to enable it.

Formal implementation of the change requires approval by the relevant Cabinet Member. Following the recent election, confirmation of Cabinet Member portfolios is required before this approval can be given. Until that process is completed, the existing permit arrangements remain in place.

Once the outcome has been confirmed, the Council will write, without delay, to all eligible residents to explain the decision and set out the next steps.
