A report on the implementation of residents' parking schemes in South Belfast has concluded that such schemes can be beneficial to communities. The pilot programme on Rugby Road was found to be successful in reducing commuter parking, despite challenges with cost and implementation time.
A report on the implementation of residents' parking schemes has found "they can work to the benefit of communities" following a pilot programme in South Belfast .
Welcoming the report, Minister O’Dowd said: “I am delighted that the Department’s review of the Rugby Road residents’ parking scheme is complete. It confirms that these schemes can work to the benefit of communities whose daily lives are blighted by all-day commuter parking. “I would also take the opportunity to ask all drivers to think about others when parking their vehicle. Inconsiderate parking, particularly when it is on the pavement, can negatively impact all pavement users forcing them into oncoming traffic, including people with disabilities, older people, children and people pushing prams, so please ‘Think Before You Park’.”
