At a meeting of the Executive on 7 February 2024, we agreed to hold a public consultation on
- the Parking Management Strategy
- the introduction of parking charges - at council owned car parks and on-street locations in Portishead, Nailsea and Clevedon.
- short-stay parking permits
The consultation is now open and closes at noon on Tuesday 7 May 2024.
We are also asking for feedback on an annual short stay permit for residents. Residents will be able to purchase this, and it would allow two hours of free parking per day.
Consultation feedback from residents, visitors, and businesses, will help us understand
- how people park now
- how we might structure pricing, locations and hours of operation in the new scheme
- how to develop terms of the annual short stay permit
Charges would enable us to improve the operation and maintenance of car parks for residents and visitors. With the introduction of on-street parking at busy locations, it will also help manage traffic and congestion. We also hope these charges will encourage people to consider being more sustainable on short journeys - for example by walking or biking.
You can have your say and get involved in a number of ways.
