THIS SCHEME DOES NOT GUARANTEE YOU A PARKING SPACE

Do not forget that this is not a residents parking scheme. It is a controlled parking scheme.
You will not be guaranteed a place to park outside your house. Anybody can park outside your house that has a voucher or a ticket from the pay and display machine. All that has happened is that you have paid for your tickets in advance.

Example: Windsor Close, the majority of Tolcarne Drive and Briarwood Drive (any road in the scheme). These will simply be parts of the "car park" with non-residents able to buy all day tickets from the pay and display machines. Shoppers, commuters and anybody else could now park in these roads by displaying the ticket or voucher. Usually the place for this type of arrangement is in a car park, just like the one in Colchester Road, now closed by the council. The resident would have no more or less right to park in their own road than the non-resident but they would now be paying.

There will also be fewer places for you to park due to the fact that yellow lines will be placed in front of your own driveway.

Even your own car will not be allowed to park across your own drive during the hours of the scheme.
If your road is too narrow,  half the parking spaces in the road will be removed!

Remember: Even if you have a driveway or do not even own a car, your friends, visitors, trades people and helpers will all have to be paid and planned for (vouchers £5 for 10 requested in writing) to avoid a £60 fine.
