Lockhartons Priority Parking Area
In March 2026, the Council’s Traffic Regulation Orders Sub-committee approved the implementation of a Priority Parking Area in the Lockharton area, named “B11”. We have written to all affected residents to provide updates, which included information regarding planned works and parking permits.
Parking permits
Parking permits are electronic and will be available for pre-purchase through our permit parking page from 1 June 2026. We have written to all affected residents to provide permit information, but further details (including prices, permit account instructions and terms and conditions) are available on the linked page.
Please note that permit prices will increase from 29 June 2026, meaning that any residents who apply on or after that date will pay the new, increased price. Permit prices have changed across the city since the Lockhartons Permit Parking Area was initially advertised, meaning that the new price will align with current permit prices.
Implementation works
Works to instal the new Priority Parking Area are due to begin from 1 June 2026 and we ask that residents observe cones and information boards, moving their vehicles to accommodate works as required. Works will not be carried out on every street at once, meaning that nearby parking opportunities will still be available if works are taking place on your street.
We expect that the works will last no longer than 3 weeks, although obstructively parked vehicles and bad weather can sometimes cause delays.
To make sure that we can effectively manage parking, we do need to introduce new signs and road markings. We will keep signs to the minimum required and will try to minimise the need for new poles.
How the Priority Parking Area works
The Priority Parking Area (PPA) will operate from 12.30pm to 2.00pm, Monday to Friday, and only residents with B11 PPA parking permits, or those with visitor parking permits, will be permitted to park during the hours of operation. Drivers who do not hold permits will be permitted to park out with the hours of operation.
