Bus gates

The bus gates cover these two town centre areas on all days:

• Market Street to High Street (from 10am to 4pm)
• Market Street junction of Westgate; St George's Square; Westgate and Kirkgate (8am to 6pm)

• Pay a parking fine
• Appeal a parking fine

• Bus gates were introduced on 1 February 2016. They are enforced using camera technology which captures the registration number of vehicles that are not authorised to use the bus gates.
• A fine, called a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN), is sent by post to the registered keeper or owner of the offending vehicle.
• The penalty charge is £70. This is reduced to £35 if paid within 21 days.
• Vehicles that are allowed to use the bus gates are local buses, hackney carriages and cycles.
• Operating times of the bus gates are shown on signs at each location. They operate on all days.
• Other signs are provided on the approaches to the bus gates. These indicate a route that drivers can take to avoid the enforcement cameras.

There are a number of alternative routes around the town centre where you don't have to go through a bus gate. This map shows where the bus gates are, and some suggested routes:
