Title of scheme

Bridgnorth – Underhill 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 shared limited waiting bays/Underhill Street residents permit holders only bays, as well as a permit holders only bay in the existing bays on Underhill Street which will be in operation from 8am – 8pm, seven days a week. This will enable  residents to park near to their homes as well as allowing access to the local amenities
  • That eligible residents of the Underhill Street scheme will be able to purchase one resident parking permit per premise
  • That eligible residents of the Underhill Street scheme will receive 200 hours of visitor permits per year
  • That any proprietors of holiday let properties located within the Underhill 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 Underhill Street residents parking permits
