    Expected End of February 2023

    Work to introduce this RPZ will begin in January 2023, and works will take approximately one week. We estimate that this RPZ will be operational by 20 February 2023.

    You can view the progress of the RPZ installation works on our schedule of works page. Residents living in the zone will also receive a letter in the post informing them of how to prepare.

    Please note that schedules and start dates are subject to change and we strongly advise residents to regularly check the schedule for updates.

  7. Monitoring and amendments

    To be confirmed Ongoing

    We will undertake parking surveys in the wider area before and after the RPZ is put in place to ensure it’s working and not displacing parking.

    We will be monitoring the impact of the new zones and we welcome feedback from residents and visitors. An annual review of the zones will also help us to address any minor issues.
