Annual Parking Report 2018 to 2019

Parking permits

Residents Permit Parking Zones (RPZs)

Currently within the Borough there are six operational RPZ's, which are located within Stockton West area, Hardwick Estate area, Trinity Gardens area, Eaglescliffe Station area, Yarm High Street and West Street area.

The Council introduces RPZs where there is evidence of residents having difficulty parking in close proximity to their homes due to the use of areas for prolonged non-resident parking particularly where there is alternative parking provision.

Residents within each zone are entitled to apply for a residents permit in line with the guidance. In addition, residents can also request to purchase a visitor permit if necessary.

The permits allow residents or visitors to park within the specified zone during the hours of operation. Currently there is an annual charge of £10 per resident or visitor permit this contributes towards the cost of administering and enforcing the scheme.

In 2018 to 2019 a total of 912 permits were issued across the zones.

Further information about the council's residents parking schemes can be found at on our resident parking schemes page.

Market Permits

Stockton Town Centre is home to the region's largest outdoor Market. In addition, throughout various times of the year there are specialist markets, as well as the 'Stockton Sparkles' Christmas market.

Over the years there has been demand for easy access for market traders to unload their goods and the facility to be able to park close to their stalls has increased.  Market Trader permits are available for traders registered with Stockton Borough Council to park in specially designated areas on market days which allows for easy transport of their goods.

Staff parking permits for employees of Stockton Council is available to be purchased via a salary sacrifice scheme. In 2018 to 2019 956 were issued.
