22 May 2012In January 2008 the District Council agreed changes to the parking arrangements in Riverhead and the Sevenoaks town area to address the commuter parking problems across the town.
This was as a result of two rounds of public consultation, carried out in the preceding months.
The scheme is designed to maximise parking facilities for commuters whilst minimising inconvenience to residents, whilst also trying to prevent displacement of commuters in to residential roads.
We have also looked at the qualifying criteria for parking permits and more residents will be eligible for parking permits.
