Title of scheme

Bridgnorth – Southwell Riverside – 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 except permit holders’ bays to Southwell Riverside and Cartway and Friar’s Street residents permit holders only 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This will enable residents to park near their homes, as well as facilitate the safe passage of traffic
• That eligible residents of the Southwell Riverside scheme will be able to purchase one resident parking permit per premise.
• that eligible residents of the Southwell Riverside scheme will receive 200 hours of visitor permits per year
• That any proprietors of holiday let properties located within the Southwell Riverside 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 Southwell Riverside residents parking permits
