Jewellery Quarter Parking - Controlled Parking Zone Traffic Regulation Order

Overview

Birmingham City Council has undertaken a review of the Jewellery Quarter Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) where recommendations were made to make changes to the parking provision within the Zone. This review supports and works alongside the council objectives to achieve a safer environment and reduce pollution in the air, mainly caused by vehicles on the roads, which is having harmful effects on the health of people living, working and studying in the city.

We are proposing to remove all “free” parking contained within the Jewellery Quarter CPZ. The area is currently oversubscribed, and these proposed measures will allow further parking places to be created and facilitate better parking provision.

What is included in this consultation?

A Traffic Regulation Order, or TRO is the legal documentation required to make changes to the status of the highway (road). A TRO is often accompanied by a plan (map) showing the proposed measures visually.

For this scheme, we have also included a consultation plan (map), which has no legal status, but which you may find clearer to see the proposed changes.

What is proposed?

We are proposing to remove all “free” parking contained within the Jewellery Quarter CPZ. The area is currently oversubscribed, and these proposed measures will allow further parking places to be created and facilitate better parking provision.

Proposed measures include:

• Permit Holder bays operating Monday-Saturday between 8am and 6pm, excluding Christmas day and bank holidays. During these times only vehicles displaying a parking permit would be allowed to park there.
• Pay by Phone bays operating Monday-Saturday between 8am and 6pm, excluding Christmas day and bank holidays.
• Double Yellow Lines - there will be some areas of no waiting at any time restrictions, this is mainly for the safe passing of vehicles and access protection.
• Overnight, both permit parking spaces and pay by phone spaces would be freely available for anyone to use without cost.
