Laygate Area, South Shields

Overview

South Tyneside Council’s Parking Team are writing to the residents of the above area regarding a scheme that was consulted on previously. We have been made aware that there are some postal issues in this area with some residents and businesses not receiving post correctly. While we understand this frustration, we do apologise that some residents and business owners have been left in the dark regarding this scheme.

Given this, we wish to start again and try and determine what the area would benefit from. We had received complaints from residents and businesses regarding the time limited parking on Frederick Street and the often inability to park close or near to properties they reside or work from.

In order to rectify this, we are looking to extend the time limited parking from 1 hour to 2 hours to create a higher turnover in parking for visitors, while also giving residents and business owners the ability to park a vehicle all day without the worry of having to move a vehicle when their timed parking is up.
