Free parking for people visiting those living within residents’ parking zones in Bristol could be scrapped.
People living in areas impacted by the schemes currently get between 50 and 70 free visitor passes a year and can purchase the same number as they get for free for £1.30 per permit.
Bristol City Council is proposing an end to the free allocation of visitor permits, saying it will reduce short car journeys, encourage people to use public transport, and prioritise parking for residents.
The council also hopes to make visitor permits available only in batches of 10 at a cost of between £20 and £25 per batch. A consultation on the proposals will end on Wednesday.
