Residents' Parking Permits - Sherwin St area

fyi

Residents in the Sherwin St area have experienced a higher volume of university related parking this academic year than ever before to extent that daytime parking for any visitors/ workmen became quite tricky. Some students (and perhaps staff) would still be parked up of an evening as lectures carry on until 8/9pm.

They have held a consultation and the result has just come back - the turnout was apparently something like 90% and about 90% of the votes were for permits. I believe they will have permit scheme running ready for 2020/21 academic year. This is obviously well before Markeaton Island car park closes (due to the massive roadworks on A38) which will displace even more university related parking.

The last time there was a public consultation about parking permits, a smallish majority of Six Street residents were against them. The reasons given were that we didn’t get all that many students parking and that the permits did not guarantee any resident a space when they came home of an evening.
