Addressing parking issues at Wayland Gardens, Chichester

You said:

Unauthorised use of allocated parking spaces made it difficult for some residents and visitors to park. In some cases, residents had to park in areas that blocked roads, creating access issues.

We have:

The Neighbourhood Response Officer asked the Resident Involvement team to carry out a consultation with all Wayland Gardens residents, to get feedback and find out if they wanted parking enforcement introduced.

In response to this, we introduced a permit scheme in January 2025, with CCTV parking enforcement and clear signage explaining the scheme. We advised residents on how to apply for permits and responded to any questions they had.

Residents can now park in their allocated spaces, with less vehicles parked where they shouldn’t be, making the area look neater. There are clear visitor parking spaces as well, which visitors can park in (without a permit) for up to 2 hours.
