Stratford-upon-Avon Residents' Parking Zones (S2, S3, S4) - Proposed Amendments

Please note - due to delays in the delivery of leaflets, the closing date for consultation returns is now Friday 14 July 2023.

Updated 14/06/23 - following multiple requests to view the survey data, links have now been added to the "Overview" section below.

Overview

The “S2" zone consists primarily of terraced housing with little access to off-street parking, meaning that there is a high demand for limited on-street parking from residents. In addition, proximity to the town centre streets with no on-street parking allocated means that parking in “S2” is heavily used by Pay & Display visitors to the town centre and is preferable to “S3” for those with “S2 and S3” permits. As a result, the “S2” zone is regularly parked up at or near to capacity, and finding a space for residents can be challenging. Detailed parking surveys carried out in early 2022 demonstrated that on a typical working day there are generally numerous spaces available in the “S4” zone, but fewer in the “S2”. There were high levels of occupancy in the combined “S2 or S3” zone, mostly displaying “S2” permits so clearly being used as overflow parking for that zone.

Numbers of permits currently issued within each zone:

* refers to the town centre area south of Guild Street, where residential properties with no off-street parking are eligible to apply for either S2 or S3 permits.  

Proposals

Proposals are to merge the current “S2” and “S4” zones, using some of the existing capacity within the “S4” zone to spread the location of convenient parking for town centre residents and visitors across a wider area. In addition, all the marked bays across the revised “S2” zone would be subject to the same times of operation; shared use between permit holders and Pay & Display parking during the daytime (8am - 6pm), permit holders only overnight.
