Gloucestershire County Council Opens Consultation on Bibury Traffic and Parking Plan

A three-week consultation opens Monday to gather views on parking charges, bay design, and pedestrian upgrades shaped by a spring trial.

Overview

  • The survey runs from November 10 to December 3, with council drop‑ins on November 12, 19 and 27 in the village to explain the proposals.
  • Plans outline pay‑and‑display parking on The Street and near Bibury Primary School, with exemptions proposed for local residents.
  • Measures include a loading bay, designated disabled spaces, extended yellow‑line restrictions, raised kerbs, seating areas, and partial pedestrianisation.
  • The package builds on a May 2025 coach‑bay trial developed with Bibury One and informed by feedback from residents, businesses and tour operators.
  • Council traffic data recorded more than 4,500 vehicle movements over Swan Bridge in a single day, and if approved changes could start by early summer 2026.
