By New parking restrictions in Grimsby
Several streets around Grimsby town centre are to become subject to new parking restrictions next month, the Council have now announced.
Residents in Abbey Road, Abbey Drive West, Abbey Drive East, Abbey Park Road and Wellowgate have between now and 24 August to apply for their long-term parking permits.
Annually, one permit will cost residents £45.
The scheme is due to come into force on Monday 24 August.
North East Lincolnshire Council have said that from Monday 17 August, enforcement officers will carry out a week of patrols to advise those not following the new parking restrictions.
As of 24 August, they will also issue penalty charge notices to any vehicles not displaying a permit if parked on the above streets for more than two hours.
Councillor Stewart Swinburn, portfolio for environment and transport, said:
“We’ve engaged with local councillors and residents and they have highlighted concerns that vehicles parking along these streets restricts access for residents who live in the area who are sometimes unable to park near their properties.
‘We’ve listened to their views, gone through the required legal TRO process with ENGIE, and I’m delighted we’ve been able to support the local community with this request.
“The council and ENGIE would like to encourage those who live within the Abbey area to sign up to the scheme to ensure residents can park safely and within a reasonable distance of their property.”
Letters are being sent to affected households with the relevant application forms.
