BBC Radio 2 In The Park Preston residents parking zone – all the roads listed, mapped and how to apply

A residents parking zone is being put in place covering dozens of Preston streets close to Moor Park this weekend.

How do I get the permit?

You will be notified if your application is successful and you’ll be able to print off your permit

I don’t have a printer?

You can go to the Harris Library which is temporarily in the ground floor of the Guild Hall in Lancaster Road and they will print the permit for you. Or ask friends/family if they can print it for you.

Where do I display the permit?

Put it so it is clearly visible in the window of your vehicle

Is there a deadline?

I have carers/home help visiting? How do I make sure they don’t get fined?

You can email bbcr2inthepark@preston.gov.uk and they will be issued a permit.
