Parking is now banned on Richmond Riverside.

A new restricted parking zone came into force today (Monday, September 21).

Richmond Council said it has received complaints about parked cars which can pose a "hazard" to pedestrians.

"The council appreciates that there are a number of business and residential properties that require access onto the riverside solely for the purpose of loading and unloading (including deliveries).

"While the restricted parking zone will apply at any time, loading and unloading will be permitted.

"Between Richmond Bridge and up to and including Buccleugh Gardens, this has been permitted between 7am and 10am every day when the Riverside has lower pedestrian flows.

"Loading and unloading activity must be continuous and the vehicle must not be left unattended."

The introduction of the parking zone follows a consultation that was held between March 10 and April 3.

Warning notices will be issued to boost awareness of the scheme in its first two weeks and to provide anyone wishing to park with a further opportunity to seek alternative arrangements.
