Gloucester Kingsholm parking review

Current stage: stage four – TRO implementation: programming works, and scheme launch

Gloucestershire County Council will be making changes to parking in the Kingsholm area of Gloucester.

Parking permit areas (Zone J and Zone H), which will include Denmark Road, Oxford Road and Horton Road, will be introduced on Monday 10 July.

This will limit non-resident parking and aims to make it easier for residents to find a parking space near their home.

Following a public consultation last summer, the council has made amendments to the plans to factor in the comments of local residents and businesses.

The Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) will be advertised on 18 May, and will see clear and consistent parking controls introduced across the area. The permit zones will be active from 8am to 7pm seven days a week.

Works will commence from 5 June and directly affected residents will be written to in the coming weeks with details about how to apply for permits, ahead of the scheme launch on the 10 July.

More details will follow, and updates will be available via this page and the consultation portal.

The new TRO will introduce yellow lines to protect driveways and junctions and address safety and access concerns. It will also provide parking bays for residents and free time-limited parking for non-residents and visitors.

Each house will be permitted two parking permits. The price for the first car will be £63.60 and the price for the second car will be £127.35 per year, with a 50% reduction for band A ‘Eco’ vehicles.

Residents, carers, businesses and hotels will be able to apply for permits, and visitor vouchers can be used for longer stays.

All hard copy documents will be on deposit to view from the 18 May at Gloucestershire County Council, Shire Hall, Westgate Street, Gloucester during its normal opening hours.
