When are Residents Preferential Parking Schemes implemented?

A resident’s preferential parking scheme is usually implemented under the following circumstances:-

At least 50% of the properties affected have no off street parking facility.
There is sufficient on road space to allow at least one vehicle per household for those who wish to participate in the scheme.
Residents are unable to park because at least 40% of available kerb space is occupied by non-residents during the normal working day, usually commuters near a town centre or factory premises, who should be using alternative parking that is provided.

Leicestershire County Council is responsible for the implementation of all residents parking schemes. Before a scheme is implemented there is an extensive process to complete including consultation with residents and local councils.
