Plymouth City Council is putting forward new proposals to limit the time people can park at Devil’s Point car park.
Parking will remain free but limited to a maximum stay of three hours, with no return within two hours between 8am and 8pm.
The proposals have been put forward to ensure the car park remains accessible for locals and visitors to be able to enjoy the area, after complaints that the car park is mainly used all day by commuters.
Councillor Jonathan Drean the Cabinet Member for Transport said:
“We have had numerous complaints and requests over the years to put in measures to stop all day parking from commuters which is preventing access during the day for visitors.
“We believe that over half of the cars and vans that use the car park stay all day and are linked to either workers in the Royal William Yard or builders who then all travel in one van to work.
“It is essential that people have the opportunity to tell us what they think of the changes so we are advertising them in the same way as before, with a further consultation period of 21 days.”
Notices being displayed in the car park, surrounding area and advertised in the Plymouth Herald set out the full changes and how people can submit their views.
The consultation will run until September 27 with a view to implementing the traffi c order by the end of the year.
