Parking in Stoke-on-Trent

We developed our approach to parking and enforcement in the city in line with Government requirements and our Local Transport Plan. With this approach we hope to:

• help regenerate the city;
• improve traffic flow and reduce traffic congestion;
• improve the quality, reliability and access to public transport;
• improve the local economy and consider the needs of local residents, shops and businesses;
• improve road safety and help reduce casualties;
• improve environmental conditions in the city;
• maintain mobility and access facilities for disabled people; and 
• encourage more cycling, walking and other environment-friendly transport.
