People need to renew their parking permits before restrictions come back into play next week, a council has warned.
Those living in Trafford need to prioritise renewal or could face fines for parking outside their own homes once all restrictions and enforcement return across the borough from Monday June 22.
The authority decided not to enforce residents-only parking across the borough while lockdown was in place but now restrictions are beginning to ease, fines will start to be issued again.
As more non-essential retail stores began to open this week and shoppers started returning to town centres across Trafford, the need for residents’ permits has kicked in again, to ensure shoppers or visitors don’t take up spaces outside people’s homes.
The council explained the reintroduction of restrictions was to help keep areas safe and support permit holders.
Coun Stephen Adshead, Trafford Council’s executive member for the environment, said: “Can everyone please remember to renew their parking permits before Monday June 22.
Many residents are still to do so and we do not want to be in a position where people are given penalties and fines.
“Thank you for all your co-operation.”
Permit holders whose permit has expired are advised to visit the council’s website for information on how to renew a permit or obtain a visitor card.
