Residents and businesses are being urged to take part in a major consultation into new parking proposals for Keswick’s back streets.
The map below illustrates in green the footprint of the proposed new community parking management scheme.
The scheme would require residents and businesses to have council permits to park.
For residents, there would be a maximum of two permits per property with vehicles having to be officially registered to the address.
For visitors, there would be one annual permit for each property on application.
For guest houses and B&Bs there would be two annual permits for each business with an unlimited number of uses per year.
Also proposed are a swathe of new double yellow lines.
These are primarily designed to cut parking at busy junctions and prevent obstruction – see the areas of the map indicated in red.
The areas where people could park are outlined in blue, while the existing double yellow lines already in place are marked in yellow.

On Thursday, from 3pm until 6.30pm, officials will be on hand at a drop-in session at Keswick Library.
The consultation remains open until Sunday, March 6.
