Title of scheme

Bridgnorth – Pale Meadow Road – parking restrictions

Description

This proposal follows the completion and analysis of a questionnaire distributed to residents in November/December 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 create a restricted parking zone with a no waiting at any time restriction except for Pale Meadow Road residents permit holders, to allow residents to park near their homes as well as facilitating the safe passage of traffic
  • That eligible residents of the Pale Meadow Road scheme will be able to purchase one resident parking permit per premise
  • That eligible residents of the Pale Meadow Road scheme will receive 200 hours of visitor permits per year
  • That any proprietors of holiday let properties located within the Pale Meadow Road scheme may purchase a parking permit for use by their customers during the rental of the holiday let property
