After the informal consultation carried out earlier in the year, it is now proposed that Hallmead Road becomes part of the Permit Parking Area (PPA) which will be taken to the statutory formal consultation which is now open and closes on 19 October. Vermont Road will not be included in the formal consultation.

The Hallmead Road PPA is proposed to operate between 8am and 6.30pm on Monday to Saturday.
The new parking zone would operate between No. 16 Hallmead Road and its northwestern extremity.
Properties eligible for permits are Nos. 1 to 37 (odds) and Nos. 16 to 68 (evens).

In a PPA all streets are subject to parking controls and vehicles may park only when
displaying a valid permit for that PPA during the operational hours.
The operational times of the PPA are indicated on entry signs as you enter the area/zone
with residents and their visitors being given priority throughout the hours of operation.
A PPA generally allows for slightly more parking capacity as bays are not formally marked
and residents are able to park across their dropped kerbs (vehicle crossovers) during the
operational hours with a valid permit.
While there are generally no marked bays in a PPA, additional bays can be introduced,
or retained where they already exist, such as time limited free bays, loading bays or
disabled bays. These bays will be marked out and signed appropriately. A parking permit
does not give the holder the right to park outside a particular premises, and does not
necessarily guarantee an available parking space. There is a charge for permits.
