Parts of High Heaton could be getting a permit parking scheme after complaints from residents about congested streets.
Newcastle City Council has carried out a consultation with residents on Holystone Crescent, Weldon Crescent and its adjacent side roads about whether they would support having parking permits.
The move follows numerous requests for the council to sort out "parking congestion" in the Newcastle suburb.
The affected area, between Heaton Cemetery and the Freeman Hospital, is surrounded by roads that are at least partly covered by permit parking, including Benton Road and Newton Road.
After receiving the letter, one resident took to social media to say: "Hope it goes through with all the folk parking randomly."
A council spokesperson said the consultation had now ended and the responses would be looked at before the authority decides how to proceed.
A spokesperson for Newcastle City Council said: “Following requests to address parking congestion in parts of High Heaton, we have been consulting with residents at Holystone Crescent, Weldon Crescent and adjacent side roads about the feasibility of introducing a permit parking scheme.
“This consultation has now ended and we will now analyse the feedback received before considering the best way forward to address residents’ concerns.”
In 2016 the council carried out a consultation on whether to introduce permit parking in areas of Heaton , but scrapped the idea following a backlash from residents
It had proposed introducing permit parking between Warwick Street and Dinsdale Place in the ‘Heaton Area Parking Scheme’.
But the consultation results showed that there was insufficient support for the proposal, with 67% of those responding opposing it.
