Parking on St Marks estate
Feedback updated 4 Sep 2017
We asked
We asked for residents'views on including the City Council's Housing car parks in the proposed Controlled Parking proposals.
You said
Thirty responses have been received representing the views of those living within close proximity to a housing-owned car park area. The consultation realised a 6.5% response rate.
Residents reported problems with non-resident parking across St Marks, although the view regarding whether to include Housing-owned car parks is very much split. Approximately half of those who responded support the proposals and half do not.
We did
The scheme is now being handed over to the Council’s Infrastructure Delivery team. They are progressing with development of the Full Business Case, Detailed Design and the Traffic Regulation Order, and the likely delivery date for the scheme is expected to be early in the next financial year.
Overview
We have previously written to people on the St Marks estate to propose a scheme to manage and control on-street parking. We have listened to your feedback and the scheme, including parking permits for residents, will be going ahead.
Some people told us that they park in one of the parking areas belonging to the council’s housing department, and think that on-street parking restrictions might mean non-residents park in these spaces. To stop this happening, we could include those parking areas in the scheme, so that only vehicles with a resident permit could park there.
This consultation is to ask whether you would like us to include the housing-owned parking areas in the parking controls. Private parking and other off-street parking are not part of the consultation and would not be affected.
On-street parking controls
The map below shows the area of St Marks which will have parking controls and the type of parking which will be allowed on each street. We have already consulted you about the on-street arrangements; they are shown on the map so you can see the housing parking areas in the context of the wider scheme.
The housing owned parking areas are marked on the map in red.
The on-street parking will be a mixture of permit parking for local residents and workers, and free limited waiting.
Parking restrictions will operate between 8am and 7.30pm, Monday to Saturday. At other times, anyone may park on-street free of charge. Double yellow lines apply at all times.
Parking areas owned by the council’s housing department
We are asking you whether the parking areas owned by the council’s housing department should be included with the on-street parking controls. Private parking and other off-street parking are not part of the consultation and would not be affected.
Option one:
Parking areas owned by the council’s housing department and marked in red on the map are included in the St Marks parking scheme.
Any resident in the area can purchase a resident permit and park here. Parking enforcement officers will issue Penalty Charge Notices (parking tickets) to anyone parking here illegally.
Business permit holders will not be allowed to park here. Daily permits for visitors will be valid.
Option two:
Parking areas owned by the council’s housing department and marked in red on the map are not included in the St Marks parking scheme.
Council tenants can continue to park in these areas without a permit but there will be no enforcement action against other vehicles parking in the area so it is possible that other people would park here too.
We are asking people in the area which of these two options they prefer.

What happens next
When the consultation has closed, we will review all your responses and decide whether the housing parking areas will be included in the parking scheme.
After this, there will be a period of legal consultation on the Traffic Regulation Order before the scheme can be implemented
