If Bristol council has its way, the days of parking on the pavement may be over.

Plans include a dramatic increase in double yellow lines and a target to replace at least one on-street parking spot on each of Bristol ’s 1,500 streets with a bike hangar, planter or benches every year .

The council is exploring new residents’ parking schemes, where drivers pay for a yearly permit, to generate funds for enforcement.
