Following a successful trial, we have worked with Staffordshire County Council to install bollards in Sandford Street, Bird Street and Tamworth Street to support pedestrianisation.
The bollards will help to regulate vehicle access into the pedestrian zone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and help to enhance safety.
The following restrictions are in place in the pedestrianised zone:
-
Deliveries: can be made within the pedestrianised zone at any time.
-
Permit Holders: those with private parking within the pedestrian zone can access at any time to travel to their designated parking.
-
Blue Badge Holders: can drive through the pedestrianised zone to access parking in designated bays on Bore Street (only) at any time.
Access Arrangements:
-
Deliveries: Can be made at any time. Businesses within the pedestrian zone will receive access codes to share with delivery drivers. If you are a delivery driver making deliveries in the pedestrian zone, you should contact the business you are delivering to for the access code.
-
Permit Holders: Those with private parking within the pedestrian zone can access at any time to travel to their designated parking. Access fobs will be issued to eligible businesses and residents.
-
Blue Badge Holders: Can access the pedestrian zone at any time to park in the designated bays on Bore Street. Entry will be granted via an intercom system, where users will be asked to provide their Blue Badge details. Please note that Blue Badge holders are being granted access to enter the pedestrian zone to travel to the designated bays on Bore Street only, if Blue Badge holders park in any other location Penalty Charge Notices will be issued.
For all enquiries on the above, please contact enquiries@lichfielddc.gov.uk
Parking fines (known as Penalty Charge Notices) are issued to anyone not following the restrictions within the pedestrianised zone - if you receive a parking fine, find out how to pay.
If you are experiencing difficulties accessing the pedestrian zone please contact 01543 308 000.
The aim of the pedestrianisation is to make the city even more vibrant, welcoming and attractive to visitors and shoppers. If you have any questions about the pedestrianisation scheme, you can email the council officer managing the project at martin.gritt@lichfielddc.gov.uk and john.smith@lichfielddc.gov.uk or call 01543 308000.
