Central St Leonards Regeneration: Parking

The Parking Issue

For residents and businesses one of the major issues in St Leonards is parking.  We have now implemented a solution following extensive consultation with local business and residents.

The solution includes measures to make more parking spaces available for shoppers visiting the retail areas of Central St Leonards.  These measures are now in place and include:

1. Reducing the maximum stay in limited waiting areas from two hours to one hour but keep the 'no return within two hours' requirement
2. Zoning of bays in the main retail streets to reduce the opportunity to move around to avoid the maximum time limit
3. Restricting loading and unloading in main retail streets to agreed times
4. Using Crystal Square as a short stay car park limited to a three-hour maximum stay
5. Reducing car park charges to encourage greater use of the off-street car parks and free up on-street parking for short stay use
6. Increasing enforcement patrols to reduce non-compliant parking

All these measure are subject to review next year.

Warrior Square Echelon Parking Study

The Warrior Square Echelon Parking Study looked at how more parking could be provided around Warrior Square Gardens.  Following broad support from residents and retailers we can confirm the works are now on site and should be completed by end of January 2009.
