A major overhaul of Bristol’s Residents Parking Zone schemes is about to happen with costs going up and the entire future of the scheme in doubt as the ruling Labour group seeks to review the policy.
Drivers of electric vehicles and low emission vehicles will no longer get free or reduced parking permits, people with two cars will have to pay double and people living in the Central Parking Zone area of the scheme will see their permit fees jump by 500 per cent, from £50 to £250.
They are the immediate changes proposed by Bristol’s ruling Labour group, but later this year, a more comprehensive review of the entire scheme will be undertaken.
