SDLP Botanic councillor Gary McKeown has said that he hopes that a review of a long-running residents' parking pilot in South Belfast will act as a catalyst for similar schemes across the city and Northern Ireland.
The Infrastructure Minister has confirmed that a report regarding residents parking schemes in South Belfast .
Councillor McKeown said: "We have seen Belfast in gridlock recently, and this isn't helped by the fact that large swathes of residential areas are basically functioning as free carparks for commuters. It's also having an impact on issues such as bin collections, deliveries and emergency services getting access.
"Residents in the part of south Belfast that has the parking scheme have reported that it has been a success. The exact model used there may need adapted to suit other areas, but this is why we need the findings of the pilot published and a strategic approach taken to roll out schemes more widely that work for residents, are tailored to the specific needs of communities, and don't push the problem into other areas.
