Milton Road Resident Parking Scheme
Page updated: September 2026
The Council has completed an on-site review of the Milton Road Resident Parking Scheme. As part of this review, a number of issues were identified relating to how the scheme was put in place. Most of these concerns relate to the location of signs, although some relate to differences between the restrictions set out in the legal order and those subsequently installed on site.
To address these issues and ensure the scheme can be enforced correctly, amendments to the legal order are being proposed.
The legal order was advertised on 16 September 2026 and the consultation is now open.
Consultation
Residents and anyone affected by the proposals are encouraged to review the consultation documents and submit their comments as part of the consultation process. Feedback received will be considered before any final decisions are made.
To view the consultation documents and find out how to respond, please visit Public Consultation.
The consultation closes on 7 October 2026. Comments must be received by this date to be considered as part of the decision-making process.
What this means for enforcement
While the proposed changes are being considered, the scheme cannot be fully enforced in all areas. During this period, enforcement will be limited to double yellow lines and single yellow lines during their signed hours of operation.
Parking permit refunds
Refunds for Milton Road parking permits have now been completed. This includes refunds for resident, temporary resident, tradesperson and visitor permits affected by the review. If you think you should have received a refund but have not, please contact the permits team using the details below.
What happens next
All comments received during the consultation will be considered before any final decision is made.
Following consideration of the consultation responses and completion of the relevant delegated approvals, a decision will be made on whether to proceed with the proposed changes. If approved, any required remedial works will be arranged.
Residents will be invited to apply for permits before full enforcement of the scheme begins.
A review of the scheme will begin six months after it becomes fully operational.
