Housing Estates Permits
What has changed
Following a comprehensive review of current parking enforcement on Council-owned housing estates, the Council recommended the introduction of Traffic Management Orders (TMOs) to enforce parking restrictions on housing estates, where enforced parking is required.
On 14 July 2021, subject to a public consultation that ran from 7 September to 12 October 2021, Mayor and Cabinet approved the introduction of Traffic Management Orders (TMOs) to enforce parking restrictions on housing estates, where enforced parking is required.
Parking enforcement lets housing estate residents park close to their homes by restricting the availability of spaces to other road users and only allowing permit holders to use the parking provision. For some estates, this will include new facilities on housing sites, such as cycle hangers and Electric Vehicle Charging Points (EVCPs), if applicable.
For the current housing estate parking sites that are moving to the TMO arrangements, the cost of permits will remain unchanged in the first year after introduction. A review of the parking charges will be undertaken within the first year following implementation of the TMO arrangements.
