Bridge Road parking permit
A resident parking permit scheme was introduced in Bridge Road, Cookley on Monday 28 June 2021. It is designed to give residents and their visitors a better chance of parking close to where they live or are visiting.
Wyre Forest District Council is administering the scheme on behalf of Worcestershire County Council. We will be taking payments and issuing the permits, as well as enforcing the scheme.
Resident permits
Residents of Bridge Road may buy a maximum of two residents permits and four visitor books. One book includes 80 visitor tickets with each ticket valid for six hours. A permit does not guarantee residents or visitors a parking space.
The resident permits cost £40.00 each annually with one visitor book costing £10.00. Please allow seven working days for resident permits to be delivered. Visitor books may take longer to arrive.
There is a £10.00 fee for a replacement permit where there is a replacement vehicle.
Please note you will not be permitted to park within the residents only bays without a valid permit or visitor pass.
