The Gloucester City Council has announced a review of on-street parking restrictions in two key areas: Elmbridge and Kingsholm and Wotton. This initiative comes in response to mounting concerns over traffic congestion and the impact of parking on road flow and safety.
Residents and local businesses have raised issues regarding the availability and enforcement of parking spaces, which they believe contribute to congestion during peak hours. The council’s Highways department aims to assess current restrictions and consider changes that may improve traffic movement while balancing the needs of motorists and pedestrians.
The review will involve data collection on parking usage patterns and consultations with community members to ensure that any amendments to parking regulations serve the best interests of all stakeholders. The outcome could lead to revised parking rules or new measures designed to alleviate congestion and enhance road safety in these neighbourhoods.
