Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) Westoe , South Shields

Overview

Following concerns raised by residents about parking difficulties, we are considering the introduction of a CPZ. However, before any decision is made, we want to hear your views.

A CPZ is an area where parking is regulated to give priority to residents and permit holders during certain times of the day. This means that non-permit holders, such as commuters or visitors, would have restricted parking access during these hours.

Streets to be included in the CPZ are Imeary Street, Imeary Grove, East Stainton Street, East Moffett Street, East Stevenson Street, East George Potts Street, Ada Street, Westoe Road, St. Micheals' Avenue, Ingham Grange, Westoe Village, Sunderland Road and Wood Terrace.

The aim of introducing a CPZ in your area is to help reduce congestion, improve parking availability for residents, and ensure safer and more accessible streets.

Key Features of the Proposed CPZ:

• Residents and their visitors would need to apply for permits to park on the road during controlled hours.

• The scheme would operate during specific times, which would be determined following consultation.

• Non-permit holders would have limited or no parking access during controlled hours.

• There will be a cost associated with resident and visitor permits to cover administrative and enforcement costs.

(Costs are subject to change depending on timeframe of the scheme)
