As there have been lots of questions about residents’ parking, here is an update.
The Morley area of Queen Edith’s will have a residents’ parking scheme installed in the next few weeks, following majority support last year. The County Council informs me that Skanska will be installing signage mid-October and having yellow lines painted at the end of the month. Residents should expect letters from the County Council announcing that the scheme is about to be launched and inviting permit applications. There will be notices in the street to alert everyone else.
The details of the Morley scheme are on the Residents’ Parking page of the County Council’s website: .
The County Council is about to launch a ‘Coleridge west’ consultation in the area borded by Cherry Hinton Road (north side), Coleridge Road and Mill Road. Surveys for other areas of Cambridge will follow to establish whether there is a general desire for residents’ parking. In this area the designated areas are Coleridge east, Glebe, Wulfstan, Nightingale and Perse.
Schemes will only be taken forward if a majority of respondents are in favour.

Please can you advise how we can comment on proposed residents parking permits for the Nightingale area (we are residents of that area)? Thanks.
Hallo Susan, thank you for your comment. You are very welcome to let me know your views on whether you think a residents’ parking scheme would be appropriate for your area: if so, what form it should take; if not, whether there are any other restrictions you would like to see. Please email me ([email protected]) or drop me a line (41 Holbrook Rd). The Council has plans to run a formal consultation within the next year or so: this is the consultation currently running in Coleridge to give you an idea: https://ccc-live.storage.googleapis.com/upload/www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/residents/travel-roads-and-parking/Coleridge%20West%20-%20Consultation%20Document%20-%20Final%20Draft%20%2823-Oct-17%29%20web.pdf?inline=true.
