🚙 Big changes are rolling into Cardiff! If you own a larger car like a Range Rover, your parking fees might be going up soon. Cardiff Council is revamping its parking strategy, aiming to reduce congestion, improve air quality, and better manage commuter parking. 🌿
The new plan, if approved, will introduce a special surcharge for oversized and high-polluting vehicles. But that’s not all—expect revamped parking zones and new permits for professional and unpaid carers. The changes may roll out over the next decade, making Cardiff’s streets cleaner and more accessible. 🌍
The council has been adapting the plan after consulting with residents and businesses, especially addressing concerns from students about parking permit restrictions. Council member for climate change, Cllr Dan De’Ath, says they are committed to balancing the city’s needs while supporting local communities.
The plan will divide Cardiff into three parking management zones with specific policies tailored for each—prioritising residents, businesses, blue badge holders, and essential services. Plus, visitor permits will be available with more flexible options! 🏙️
Motorbike owners, take note: permits will soon be necessary to park in residential bays. The council aims to make parking fairer and simpler for everyone, while promoting eco-friendly travel options. Curious about the rest of the changes? Keep your eyes peeled as more details emerge after the next council meeting! 🚗💨
