Title of scheme

Bridgnorth – East Castle Street – changes to parking restrictions

Description

This proposal follows the completion and analysis of a questionnaire distributed to residents in May / June 2022 and a further public consultation workshop in December 2022. The proposal is intended to reduce vehicle congestion, facilitate the safe passage of traffic and access to property whilst giving residents equal opportunity to park near to their homes. The introduction of virtual permitting and visitor hours will give improved access and greater flexibility in service provision.

It is proposed:

  • To change the existing limited waiting bays in the East Castle Street scheme to permit holders only from 8am-8pm daily
  • That the existing disabled parking only bay be retained on East Castle Street
  • That eligible residents of the East Castle Street scheme will be able to purchase one resident parking permit per premise
  • That eligible residents of the East Castle Street scheme will receive 200 hours of visitor permits per year
  • That any proprietors of holiday let properties located within the East Castle Street scheme may purchase a parking permit for use by their customers during the rental of the holiday let property
  • That owners of businesses will no longer be eligible to purchase East Castle Street residents parking permits

Eligible residents of the East Castle Street scheme will be able to purchase one resident parking permit per premise, with one car registration allowed per permit, at a cost of £100.

Eligible residents of East Castle Street will receive 200 hours of visitor permits per year if they buy a residents parking permit. Eligible residents who don't purchase a residents parking permit may buy the same amount of visitors permits at a cost of £5 per year.

Eligible residents of East Castle Street may also apply for an evening car park permit (max one per household) to park in North or South Listley Street car park, between 4pm and 10am, at an annual cost of £384. Spaces are limited, so they will be issued on a first come first served basis.

Proprietors of holiday let properties located within the East Castle Street scheme may purchase a parking permit for use by their customers during the rental of the holiday let property. Each establishment will be entitled to purchase one digital permit annually at a cost of £100.

The provision that allows businesses to buy residents parking permits will be withdrawn.
