Residents’ Parking in Cheltenham
Much of central Cheltenham is covered by residents’ permit parking zones, run by Gloucestershire County Council. Inside a zone, on-street spaces are reserved for permit holders during the hours shown on the signs, so it’s worth knowing where the zones start and end before you park or move house.
The map colours each zone’s streets, and the table lists every street with its zone so you can find yours quickly. Streets marked “Part of street” are only partly inside the zone and are shown as dashed lines. For those, check the council’s zone map or the signs on the street. If you’re visiting rather than living here, our car parks page shows where you can park in town instead.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Permit Zone Is My Street In?
- Find your street in the Streets table above, or click a coloured line on the map to see its zone.
- Some streets appear in more than one zone, where a zone boundary runs along or across them.
- If your street isn't listed, it isn't in a residents' permit zone, but other parking restrictions such as yellow lines or limited waiting bays may still apply.
What Does "Part of Street" Mean?
- Only some of the street's length is inside the zone. Those streets are drawn as dashed lines on the map, near the part covered by the zone.
- Open the council's zone map in the Zones table to see exactly where the boundary falls.
How Do I Get a Parking Permit?
- Residents' permits in Cheltenham are issued by Gloucestershire County Council, which manages on-street parking across the county.
- See the council's permit information pages for eligibility, prices and how to apply.
Is Zone 15 Permanent?
- Zone 15 was introduced under an experimental traffic order, which lets the council test a scheme and review it before deciding whether to keep it.
- The council's Zone 15 page has the latest on the review.
