Purpose

To produce a comprehensive
approach to parking management across the city, in support of the
Council’s approved 10 year
transport strategy, taking full cognisance of responses to the City
Parking Plan public and specialist consultations.
 
The CPP will prioritise parking
for those who need it most, enable residents to park close to their
homes, provide opportunities for a turnover of customers for local
businesses and simplify parking restrictions. 
 
This would be achieved by
organising on-street parking into coherent administrative areas,
the phased roll-out od parking zones,
supporting blue badge holders, carers and residents by reducing
commuter parking and congestion to free-up road space.
