Wokingham Road: Pay and Display

Overview

Changes to the unrestricted parking bays on Wokingham Road were originally proposed as part of the consultation for the East Reading permit parking scheme. Having considered the feedback to the consultation, and following additional discussions with ward Councillors, Officers have developed an amended proposal which is now under consultation.

 These new proposals are intended to meet the needs of residents by providing additional parking permit bays within the wider scheme area, but also provide flexible parking for visitors throughout the day along with the turnover and relative ease of enforcement that Pay & Display restrictions provide.

The tariff allows a period of parking for up to 2 hours without charge, reflecting the visitor parking period that much of the surrounding area Resident Permit Parking scheme permits.
