Parking improvement schemes

The Council has a 4 year investment programme to 'Protect, Care and Invest to create a better borough'.

Between 2020 and 2024 we are investing over £50m to keep neighbourhoods safe, clean and well connected. 

Our vision is to 'Keep Telford Moving' and in 2020/2021 we will invest £22m to deliver 200 improvement schemes across the borough as part of the Pride in Our Community programme.

The programme of work includes:

• improvements to roads
• improvements to footpaths
• parking  schemes  
• sustainable transport
• street furniture
• drainage improvements
• work on major structures.

View information about the planned works.

You may not be surprised to know that we receive a large number of requests from right across the borough to create additional parking therefore we prioritise these to try to deliver improvements in as many areas as possible.

As a local resident you may have a view as to the best location for the additional parking however there are a number of hidden factors that influence this such as the location of hidden underground services for example gas mains, electricity and water pipes and who the land owner is, as not all the land falls under the councils ownership. All these factors have been explored before finalising the location of the proposed additional parking bays. We appreciate that this investment may not fully solve all the parking issues however we hope it will help with the availability of parking in the areas being reviewed.

The following sections will provide details of the proposed improvements that will be undertaken over the coming 12 months, click on the following headings to reveal further information including details of how you can 'Have Your Say' and let us know your thoughts on each proposal.
