Stowmarket: A council is looking into a permit parking area. This aims to tackle nuisance parking in the town.
On February 11, Mid Suffolk District Council’s cabinet will review a report. This report will discuss the next steps for a possible residents’ parking zone.
Residents have shared their concerns about parking issues in the area. The council wants to address these problems effectively.
They plan to use £25,456 to design the parking zone. This funding will help create a detailed plan for the project.
Andy Mellen, the council leader, acknowledges parking is a big issue. He wants to help Stowmarket residents find a solution with Suffolk County Council.
A recent survey showed many residents support the idea of a parking zone. The council aims to gather more information to make an informed decision.
Suffolk County Council oversees highways and can establish the parking zone. The proposed funding will help assess feasibility, costs, and impacts.
Parking restrictions could be in place all day or during specific hours, like 8 am to 6 pm. This will help manage parking better in the area.
The proposed permit parking area would cover several streets, including Bond Street and Victoria Road. This plan aims to reduce nuisance parking in Stowmarket.
