Proposed parking permit scheme on Leicester streets to tackle commuter parking
Overview
A residential parking permit scheme is being proposed for seven streets off Tudor Road in the West End of Leicester following complaints about commuters and workers taking up on-street spaces. The initiative would affect around 460 homes and businesses, with households charged £35 a year per vehicle and businesses facing fees of £100 or £150. An online survey is open until 17 November alongside a public drop-in event.
