Customers of our village shops often find it very hard to park their cars during business hours, which means that our shops can lose valuable business which they need to survive.
Parking restrictions in Church Street are not all the same and they depend on where you choose to park your vehicle. This is to ensure a continuous turnover of cars during business hours to keep spaces free for customers of the shops in the area.
Please park thoughtfully in Church Street during business hours and ensure that vehicles do not block the small number of parking spaces available there for longer than the restrictions allow.
Some motorists are parking vehicles in Church Street for long periods, such as all day or even for 24 hours in some cases. Long-term parking including all day parking is prohibited in parts of Church Street during business hours. If you park in Church Street, please move your vehicle after you reach the time limit and do not return within one hour.
Parking restrictions in Church Street are legally enforceable. Bath and North East Somerset Council is responsible for enforcement and any contravention risks a parking ticket and fine.
