Parking Services Works Programme

We get many requests for parking restrictions and/or improvements. We add these to the Parking Services Investigation List for consideration for a future parking work programme.

Not every request can be considered due to:

  • volume of requests from different households
  • safety concerns
  • major developments that are taking place nearby

If your road/area is not listed you can request it is considered for a future parking consultation.

A new works programme covering 2024-2026 was considered in February 2024 at the Cabinet Planning and Parking Panel.
