Parking Scheme

We understand that the public consultation on the next phase of the residents parking scheme will be posted in the next couple of weeks and residents have until the 7^th of January to return their voting cards. Open days will be held in each area at which residents will be able to speak to council officers about the scheme. 

The first phase of the scheme has been operating for a year now and the restrictions preventing non-residents from parking for just two hours per day has successfully reduced troublesome parking in affected streets. As one resident put it “we have got our street back”.  However the problem has migrated or worsened in neighbouring streets.

There will be no change to the existing scheme, permit costs and times of operation remain the same and will be extended to those streets in which the majority of households vote in favour. It is therefore important that you use your vote.

A reminder to residents living within the parking management scheme that your permits are due for renewal at the end of December. The council are not sending out reminder so it is up to you to renew your permits. You can e-mail your request to hospitalpms@sunderland.gov.uk or write to Parking Services, Jack Crawford House, Sunderland SR2 8QR. Alternatively you can take your written request to Kayll Road Library and they will forward your application direct to Parking Services.  If you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact Parking Services on 0191 5611433.
