Howlands North

A consultation on parking restrictions was held for the northern section of the Ward. A report was taken to Cabinet Planning and Parking Panel where the restrictions were agreed.

The parking restrictions came into force on Monday 1 December 2025. These restrictions are listed below.

Restrictions

Double Yellow Lines 

Double yellow lines at junctions and in areas where this may be required due to safety or access issues. These apply equally to all drivers. 

Verge and Footway Prohibition Order (VFPO)

We are also prohibiting parking on public verges and footways throughout the area, where the carriageway is more than 4.5m wide. A VFPO also covers vehicle crossovers which form part of the public highway and where it is not owned by a property. It is a parking restriction giving enforcement officers powers to issue fines rather than a physical measure such as bollards.

The public documents can be seen on the following page.

Next Steps

Three months after the new restrictions a feedback form will be available for residents to submit their views on the parking restrictions.

The feedback will be reviewed to see if any adjustments are needed and there may be further consultation.
