Gloucester's Gate Streets Now Monitored by ANPR Cameras

Gloucester is implementing new measures, including ANPR cameras on its gate streets, to enhance road safety and reduce congestion. These cameras will deter illegal parking and prevent the streets from being used as shortcuts in the evenings. For the first six months, offenders will receive warning letters, after which penalties will be issued for repeated violations. The county council plans to introduce enforcement at nine additional locations to address issues such as banned turns and yellow box junctions.

Changes have also been made to business loading times in the city centre. Previously allowed between 17:00 and 10:00, loading is now permitted only between 8:00 and 10:00 and again from 17:00 to 18:00. Cameras have been installed at Cheltenham Transport hub and in Whitminster. Council officials state that the income generated from penalties will be reinvested locally.
