We asked

In February/ March 2023 we undertook a public engagement with residents and businesses in the Woodgate area to obtain views on a potential residents parking scheme. We asked respondents: "Do you support the introduction of a permit scheme on your street that operates at all times of the day, 7 days a week?"

You said

Approximately 701 residential and business dwellings were invited to take part in the consultation. In Total we have received 144 responses on paper and via this website from residents and businesses in the area. Responses were analysed by council officers.

  • Fifty-four residents and business responded ‘No’ to the proposed residential parking scheme (37.5 %)
  • Ninety residents responded ‘Yes’ to the proposed residential parking scheme (62.5 %)

In addition, respondents included comments both for and against residents parking in the area.

We did

The response data and comments have been analysed in more detail to determine whether or not to continue with further engagement with residents and businesses over potential measures to manage parking in the area. 

Residents’ responses to our 2023 public engagement on possible traffic measures in the Woodgate area indicated that there is a strong support for a residents’ parking scheme in area affected by non-residents. 

Based on these consultation responses, we are now preparing for a formal engagement involving Traffic Regulation Order process. We will be contacting local residents and businesses to seek views on these proposals in due course. 

Overview

A number of residents have raised concerns about parking issues in the Woodgate area. The majority of these relate to difficulties finding parking spaces close to their home due to commuters or other visitors to the area taking up available parking spaces.

We would like to hear your views on a proposal to introduce a controlled residents' parking zone in the area.
