BBC Radio 2 In The Park Preston residents parking zone – all the roads listed, mapped and how to apply

A residents parking zone is being put in place covering dozens of Preston streets close to Moor Park this weekend.

When is it in force?

It runs from 8am to 12midnight on Saturday 7 September and Sunday 8 September

Where do I apply?

Go onto the ParkTheCarHere website, fill in the form and select your road from the list.

My road isn’t on the list?

Your property is not within the residents parking zone.

What info do I need to give?

The online form will ask for name, address including post code, email address, phone number, vehicle registration number and a proof of address such as a utility bill or driving licence.

How do I get the permit?

You will be notified if your application is successful and you’ll be able to print off your permit

I don’t have a printer?

You can go to the Harris Library which is temporarily in the ground floor of the Guild Hall in Lancaster Road and they will print the permit for you. Or ask friends/family if they can print it for you.

Where do I display the permit?

Put it so it is clearly visible in the window of your vehicle

Is there a deadline?

The city council had been urging people to register by Tuesday (3 September) but Blog Preston understands you can apply at any point up to when the festival is on and still receive your permit. But the sooner, the better.

I have more than one car…

There’s a two-vehicle limit per household

I have more than two vehicles?

You’ll need to find somewhere else to park your additional vehicles during the festival weekend

What if I don’t apply?

Parking enforcement officers will be out and penalty charge notices will be issued to cars parked without a permit.

Parking tickets are issued by Lancashire County Council and their website has details on the costs and how you could challenge them if given a ticket.

I have carers/home help visiting? How do I make sure they don’t get fined?

You can email bbcr2inthepark@preston.gov.uk and they will be issued a permit.

I’m a courier making a delivery, can I still access the area?

Yes, you will be able to.

I have a driveway, do I need a permit?

No, you can park on your drive without a permit. This only affects on-street parking.

Is the permit for the whole residents parking zone?

Yes, it doesn’t just apply to a single street, the permit applies to anywhere within the residents-only parking zone.

Why didn’t the council just send permits out with the letters?

We asked the city council and they said not all households have a car, and there needed to be some element of control over who was receiving a permit. And they didn’t want people from outside the residents permit zone applying for a permit, or the permits being sold on.
