Parking and enforcement plan 2022 to 2027
The PEP 2022 to 2027 was agreed by the council’s cabinet in October 2022 and published in November 2022, following a borough-wide consultation.
The key visions of the PEP include:
- Supporting the creation of sustainable streets for everyone, by re-prioritising more of our kerbside space to support greening in the borough, and sustainable transport.
- Providing high-quality, customer-focused services that respond to the needs of our residents, businesses and visitors.
- Encouraging motorists to choose active travel and sustainable travel options, a switch to cleaner vehicles with a reduction in private vehicle ownership.
- Consolidating a fair, proportionate and transparent enforcement service to deliver high levels of compliance, and robustly tackle fraud.
- Delivering a consistent approach to parking products and services on all council-managed estates.

PEP listening exercise
Following the PEP consultation in 2021 and having reviewed the feedback provided. We invited the public to take part in a listening exercise, which took place for three weeks between June and July 2022.
During this period, we asked residents, businesses and other key stakeholders to comment on the revised policies on permit prices in the draft PEP.
We used the same methods to communicate with the public in the PEP 2021 consultation in the listening exercise.
All feedback and responses to the consultation were considered and analysed by the Council, and are described in an appendix to the report that was approved by the cabinet in October 2022.
