A new residential parking scheme is to be introduced in West End and Highgate Hill, which will restrict all street parking to a two hour maximum without a residential permit.

The scheme would see all streets south of Brighton Rd in West End and west of Gladstone Rd in Highgate Hill covered by residential  permit parking and all residents in the area will be issued with one resident and one visitor permit.

The proposed scheme comes after residents vocalised their frustration over being parked out of their streets by commuters.
