What is a Controlled Parking Zone?

break

A Residential Parking Zone (RPZ) is an area where parking is regulated to benefit residents, businesses and visitors.

This is achieved by:
  • Prioritising parking provision
  • Improving access to shopping centres which will help all residents, but in particular disabled people, families with children and the elderly
  • Reducing illegal parking across dropped kerbs and road junctions. This will improve road safety as well as helping people with mobility problems
  • Providing controlled parking for residents (in all zones), and shoppers (in and around town centres), thus encouraging people to come to Newham
  • Increasing public safety and security by the presence of uniformed civil enforcement officers

Note: Different RPZs have different operational hours and days. For more information go to our RPZ Maps and Hours of Operation page.
