Consultation closes noon, Monday 22 June 2026
The Bungay Town Council Parking Consultation closes at noon on Monday 22 June 2026.
Parking in Bungay can be difficult for both residents and visitors. At the moment all attention is focused on the Bungay Parking Review.
Please take a little time to look at the proposals and respond to the consultation.
Parking in Bungay has been a long-running concern. People have worked hard over several years to get this issue properly reviewed, and this consultation is an important opportunity to influence what happens next.
The proposals are detailed and, in places, quite technical. But it is worth getting your head around them, especially if you live, work, shop, drive, walk or care for someone in the town. Even a short comment is useful.
East Suffolk Council has carried out a parking review of the area, and Bungay Town Council is now inviting residents to comment on the proposals as part of the first consultation phase.
You can complete the consultation survey on the Bungay Town Council website.
You can also email comments to the Town Clerk at Clerk@Bungaytowncouncil.gov.uk. Please put CONSULTATION in the subject line.
The 15-minute parking bay near the pharmacy would become a 30-minute bay. A second 30-minute bay would also be added nearby.
Resident permit parking is proposed for Wingfield Street, Bardolph Road and part of Nethergate Street.
Some “Restricted Zones” would be replaced with standard double yellow lines on streets including St Mary’s Street, Cross Street, Quaves Lane, Upper Olland Street, Lower Olland Street and Priory Lane.
The loading bay opposite St Mary’s Church would be opened to all vehicle classes, not only goods vehicles.
New or clearer bus stop restrictions are proposed on Earsham Street and Staithe Road.
There are many more detailed proposals for residential streets. [A working summary is being prepared — check back soon.]
If you think your street has been overlooked, or if parking problems in one street are likely to be pushed into another, please use the “other comments” section of the survey to say so.
BTF is not telling residents how to respond. Our aim is to make sure people know the consultation is happening and have the chance to comment before the deadline.
Deadline: noon on Monday 22 June 2026. It only takes a few minutes.
