GCP Wilberforce area resident parking scheme

Thank you for your feedback, this consultation has now closed. For future updates on the project please visit our website - Wilberforce RPS (greatercambridge.org.uk)

Following a period where delivery of new parking schemes in Cambridge was paused, Cambridgeshire County Council’s Highways and Transport Committee agreed at its meeting on 4 November 2021 to restart the programme and requested GCP to initiate delivery of new Resident Parking Schemes.

The scheme will be designed in line with the overall Cambridgeshire County Council Resident Parking Policy (see Important Links section for details). If adopted, this scheme may be subject to variations in line with any changes to the overall Resident Parking Policy in future. The Resident Parking Scheme covering Wilberforce has been developed in consultation with local councillors.

Permits

Please note that the following information is subject to change.

Resident permits are limited to three per household and per year. Visitor permits are limited to 20 per applicant (each permit allows five visits of up to one day in duration) per year. Other permits are available including business and tradespeople permits and free medical permits.

For more information visit the Cambridgeshire County Council website www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk and enter Resident Parking Schemes in the search bar.

The annual permit charge depends on the scheme and hours of enforcement. The proposed permit costs for this scheme are:

• Resident permits £75 per year
• Resident motorcycle permit £37.50 per year
• Resident parking permit low emissions £60 per year (20% discount)
  (If your vehicle has emissions of less than 75gkms, you are entitled to a 20% discount off the full cost of a resident parking permit. If your vehicle is eligible for the discount, you need to provide a scanned image or readable photograph of your V5C document (logbook / vehicle registration document) for the vehicle.)
• Business parking permit £112
• Visitor permits £16

Hours of operation

In the Wilberforce, the hours of operation will be 9am - 3.30pm, 7 days a week. Pay and Display will be for a maximum of three hours, with limited waiting for up to one hour.
