A new Residents’ Parking Zone will be coming into force in Lyncombe Vale, Perrymead and Greenway Lane in Bath from Thursday 20th January.
The zone has been introduced as part of measures to reduce commuter parking and improve air quality, following concerns from the local community.
The aim of the parking restriction is to reduce carbon emissions from vehicles circling while looking for a parking space, and to give residents more opportunity to find spaces nearer to their homes.
B&NES Council says access for larger vehicles, such as refuse and emergency vehicles, will also be improved.
Residents in the area can purchase permits to park using the MiPermit system here.
Councillor Manda Rigby, cabinet member for Transport, said: “People in Lyncombe have been asking for a Residents’ Parking Zone for a long time, so I’m delighted that it will soon come into effect.
“These improvements to on-street parking arrangements will mean residents have more chance of parking near their homes and there will be less through-traffic from commuters, which in turn will improve air quality.
“It will also create a safer space for walking and cycling.
“The restrictions will be enforced from January 20, so anyone who wishes to buy a residents’ parking permit should do so as soon as possible.”
