What does this mean?

The Local Transport Forum has recommended that the community will be consulted on each proposal in the study. This means no changes to parking will be made without more targeted consultation with local residents who are impacted by the proposed changes.

Council will discuss the Local Transport Forum recommendations at its meeting on Tuesday 28 October 2025.
