Cedars Road Area Controlled Parking Zone Statutory Consultation (Two time periods)

Why is this needed?

The community has reported problems in these roads due to scarce on-street parking space being occupied by residents of other nearby homes who have alternative parking but chose to park on-street to avoid privately-operated permit charges. In addition, should new homes be built in the area (such as on the site at the end of Cedars Road), they could be excluded from the controlled parking zone, helping to ensure that on-street space is retained for existing residents. Permit controls for the on-street spaces in Cedars Road and the western end of Highfield Road will therefore offer better balance to local parking arrangements and give priority to the existing households directly adjacent.

Permit controls would offer better balance to local parking arrangements and give priority to residents.

What is being proposed?

A CPZ is an area where residents are given parking priority over other drivers through a permit system. Only those living in Cedars Road CPZ zone can buy permits.

Parking controls will be in effect 7-9am and 5-7pm, seven days a week. This should prove effective at also deterring all-day parking by workers and discouraging use of resident bays by shoppers. 

This consultation provides you with the opportunity to make objections to the traffic management orders that need to be made if the scheme is to be introduced
