Residents Parking Zone (RPZ) Policy

Resident Parking Zones (RPZ) prioritise residents over other motorists by providing designated parking bays for permit holders. While it doesn't guarantee a space outside one's home, it manages on-street parking effectively, discouraging shopper or commuter parking and encouraging the use of off-street facilities.

There is no legal right to park on the highway, nor do residents have an entitlement to park on the street in front of their property and instances of limited parking may occur in residential areas near town centres, hospitals, and railway stations is common.
