Resident Parking Zones Being Introduced On Road In Newport

Resident parking zones are being introduced on Caesars Road in Newport.

The Isle of Wight Council says the introduction of parking permits follows a vote from residents in 2019.

Letters were sent to nearby addresses with voting slips attached. The council says the move comes as a result of residents contacting councillors 'over a number of years'.

An Isle of Wight Council spokesperson said:

“In 2019 the council carried out a survey to look into the possible introduction of residents’ parking within the street. This was as a result of requests from residents to elected members over a number of years.

“Once the survey work had been completed and residents had their chance to vote, the council wrote to residents informing them that the outcome of the vote was that a residents’ parking scheme would be implemented.

“A significant amount of work has been undertaken since that time and Island Roads are now in the process of introducing the signs and lines within the road.” 

Parts of the road will see non-residents allowed to park for a maximum of two hours between 8am and 6pm, Monday to Saturday.

While other parts will be for permit holders only, and some will be marked 'no waiting at any times'.

Signs and lines for the new parking zones have already started to appear along the road.
