Parking Zone (PZ) P was last reviewed in 2015. Since then there have been various developments and parking changes both within the parking zone and in the zones surrounding it. In line with our Parking and Enforcement Plan, the Council has a duty to review parking zones as and when they are needed.
The review process is a great opportunity for us to hear about your parking experience within your PZ and to find out whether it is currently meeting your parking needs.
