Overview

  • Tetbury residents pay £640 annually for parking permits but frequently return home without available spaces.
  • More than 40,000 visitors tour the Highgrove estate each year, overwhelming local parking infrastructure.
  • Half of West Street Car Park spaces are now allocated to permit holders, yet no spot is guaranteed.
  • Incidents of blocked driveways and vehicle damage have raised safety concerns among residents.
  • The council offers free overflow parking at the Old Railway Yard and has promised continued dialogue with locals and businesses.
