Devon County Council has announced a temporary prohibition of parking on several roads in Exeter to facilitate essential gas mains replacement works. The affected roads include Elmside, Herschell Road, Iddesleigh Road, Salisbury Road, and Rosebery Road. This measure is set to commence on Wednesday August 6 2025 and is anticipated to conclude by Friday December 12 2025. The restriction will be enforced under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 Section 14.

The temporary parking ban is deemed necessary to ensure the smooth execution of the gas mains replacement project, which will involve a rolling prohibition of parking along these roads. Residents and motorists are advised that there will be no alternative routes available during this period.

The works are being carried out by Wales & West Utilities, who can be contacted for further information at 0800 9122999. The project aims to enhance the reliability and safety of the gas supply network in the area.

How long will the parking restrictions be in place? The restrictions are scheduled to last from August 6 to December 12 2025, although the order allows for a maximum duration of up to 18 months if necessary.

What should residents do if they have concerns about the parking ban? Those who have any concerns or believe they may be adversely impacted by the temporary prohibition are encouraged to contact Wales & West Utilities or Devon County Council for assistance.
