Where would the money from citywide parking controls go? Chichester’s parking consultation explained
The consultation, which is open until March 31, can be found here: www.westsussex.gov.uk/chiparkingplan
It proposes controlled parking zones across the whole of Chichester, with double yellow lines, permit control and waiting restrictions in residential roads.

Any resident would be automatically entitled to buy a permit that covered their entire zone of residence and not just one street.
Priority would be given to Blue Badge holders and those residents with no off-street parking.

Pay and Display areas would cost £1.50 an hour, or 60p per hour in Terminus Road and Quarry Lane.
Revenue from the parking management plan or PMP would be ‘ring-fenced by law’ to pay for implementation or ongoing parking management costs, or other transport improvements in the local area.
