Church Street Car park time limits

Time limits will be introduced for Church Street car park

The car park in Church Street is frequently full, leading to congestion on Church Street and issues accessing the shops & surgery. Surveys in 2019 by CWAC, and in May/June 2021 by KPC, showed that many vehicles were parked all day by residents and staff. The KPC survey asked for residents' feedback on the idea of introducing a time limit on free parking. Many felt that a limit of 2 hours would be reasonable and help keep some spaces available for visitors to the shops and surgeries.

Following this, KPC is planning to introduce a 2 hour time limit to free parking. This would be enforced by Cheshire West wardens, and combined with parking permits for nearby residents without any off-street parking of their own. There will be no charge for the short-term parking.

Cheshire West have agreed that this could be done once markings to the car park are updated to create better disabled bays, and after they complete a publicity period.
