Seaburn Metro and Newcastle Road CPMS
Sunderland City Council implemented the Seaburn Metro and Newcastle Road Corridor Community Parking Management Scheme (CPMS) in April 2017.
Seaburn Metro and Newcastle Road Corridor Community Parking Management Scheme 2 (CPMS2) was designed following discussions with residents, traders and stakeholders.
The main objectives of a CPMS are:
1. Address parking problems caused by visitors to the Roker Marina area
2. Improve road safety for all highway users
3. Improve access and parking for disabled people
4. Give residents some priority in parking their cars as close as possible to their property
Only vehicles displaying any of the following are entitled to park within the zone:
1. A valid parking permit
2. A voucher / scratch card
3. A valid blue badge
Any vehicle observed parking without displaying any of these may be issued with a Penalty Charge Notice.
