How might a Parking Permit Scheme work where I live?
Context |
Note 1 |
This document attempts to provide a simple guide to what might be suggested as the appropriate solution for your road or street if an overall Zone 9 Parking Permit Scheme were to be proposed.
This is based on the 2012 consultation carried out by Gloucestershire County Council. DisclaimerSPJARA takes a strictly neutral stance about on-street parking.
However, residents have expressed concern at the deteriorating parking situation. We feel it is important to provide residents with as much factual information as possible on the details of any possible solution. We have done our best to ensure accuracy in this document, but if there are errors or omissions, please alert us with an email to: [email protected]. Thanks!

Several SPJARA roads and streets are already part of the Zone 8 Parking Scheme. These are:
Note 2The following roads were not included in the Zone 9 proposal in 2012. Presumably, they could be included in any future scheme. These are:
|
Andover Street east side Nos. 1-12
|
Most probably would have the simplest restriction
|
Andover Street, west side (rear Park Place)
On the west side of Andover Street there are rear garden or garage entrances to the rear of Park Place properties. Where these exist, a sign on that side of the street could be applied
This would mean that any permit holders of Zone 9 could park. The owner of a property could park across his/her own garage, but then so (in theory at least) could any other resident with a permit. In practice, this is unlikely to be a problem. Any vehicle without a permit would be ticketed and that vehicle treated as an obstruction and dealt with accordingly. There would be some bays which are not in front of garages which permit holders can use.
A resident can request a white H marking. This is advisory only and not enforceable, so anyone can park on them. There is a policy and application form for this. Applications are considered on a case-by-case basis.

Ashford Road
Most probably would have the simplest restriction, on both sides of the road
Brandon Place
No signed bays, just Permit holders. This would mean that any permit holders of Zone 9 could park.

There would be some bays which are not in front of garages which permit holders can use.
Brandon Place could opt to be outside the scheme.

Edward Street

This would mean that permit holders only can park in the street, except in signed bays.

Grafton Road
Most probably would have the simplest restriction, on both sides of the road
Gratton Road
Most probably would have the simplest restriction, on both sides of the road
Norwood Road
Most probably would have the simplest restriction, on both sides of the road
Painswick Road
Most probably would have the simplest restriction, on both sides of the road
St. Philips Street
Permit holders only can park in the street. This might apply to both sides of the street and might include bays being half on the street, half on the pavement.
Suffolk Street
Towards the Bath Road end, some bays would be designated as shown
|
To the west of those bays, would be Permit Holders only.
