Tackling Parking Issues on Stapleton Road
Since January, the Neighbourhood Policing Team has been working hard to tackle ongoing parking problems along Stapleton Road. We know how much these issues affect local residents, businesses, and road users, and we are committed to making the area safer and more accessible for everyone.
To support this work, we have teamed up with Bristol City Council’s Parking Services to carry out joint enforcement operations. During an operation on 25 February, officers issued 60 parking tickets to vehicles causing obstruction or parked in restricted areas. A second joint operation on 4 March resulted in 36 further tickets being issued.
These efforts are part of our continued focus on improving traffic flow, reducing unsafe parking, and responding to community concerns. As we move into spring, we will continue working closely with our partners to maintain a visible presence and take action where needed.
Thank you to everyone who has shared information with us—your reports help us target problem areas and shape our approach.
