Title of scheme

Bridgnorth – Severn Street – 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 create residents only permit parking bays using the existing spaces, as well as new bays, to allow residents to park near their homes and to facilitate the safe passage of traffic
  • That eligible residents of the Severn Street scheme will be able to purchase one resident parking permit per premise
  • That any proprietors of holiday let properties located within the Severn Street scheme may purchase a parking permit for use by their customers during the rental of the holiday let property
