THE ETRO will come into force on 6 July 2026.
A ETRO (Experimental Traffic Regulation Order) is being put in place to better balance the needs of residents in Saltburn and visitors who enjoy the fantastic tourism offer of the town.
Parking for motorhomes will be restricted to existing marked parking bays on the north side of Marine Parade. The bays will offer unrestricted parking for permit holders for four hours on Monday-Saturday between 9am and 5pm, with no return for four hours after the initial parking period. Properties on Marine Parade from Garnet Street, east to Saltburn Road will be entitled to apply for a permit.
There will be no parking for motorhomes at any time on the remaining unrestricted sections on the north and south side of Marine Parade.
Answers to some frequently asked questions about the TRO can be found below:
What parking restrictions will be in place?
A permit holders only/limited waiting restriction of four hours, no return within four hours, will apply in the existing marked bays on Marine Parade from Monday to Saturday, 9am–5pm.
Parking is unrestricted on Sundays and after 5pm each day.
In the unmarked areas, a prohibition of motorhomes will be introduced. These areas will be marked with a single yellow line and signage. Motorhomes will be prohibited at all times, but other vehicles may still park in these locations.
Where can residents park?
Residents living directly adjacent to the bays are entitled to a permit and can park in the bays for an unlimited period.
Residents who live outside of this area can still park in the marked bays on an evening and Sundays and for four hours during the restricted periods. Residents, other than those with motorhomes, can also park in the areas with the motor home restriction in place as indicated by a single yellow line.
Residents can also park in other unrestricted areas of the town.
Will this stop motorhomes parking overnight?
No. The restrictions do not fully prevent overnight parking, but they limit where and for how long motorhomes may stay.
Motorhomes will only be allowed in the marked bays on Marine Parade and will remain subject to the four‑hour limit (Mon–Sat, 9am–5pm).
These restrictions aim to manage overall parking demand, not to ban motorhomes, but they do prevent long‑term or sustained stays on Marine Parade.
How will the limited stay be monitored?
The council’s enforcement team will monitor the area.
What is classed as a motorhome?
Under Regulation 2(1) of the Motor Vehicles (Type Approval) (Great Britain) Regulations 1979, a motor caravan is defined as:
“A motor vehicle which is constructed or adapted for the carriage of passengers and their effects, and which contains, as permanently installed equipment, the facilities which are reasonably necessary for enabling the vehicle to provide mobile living accommodation for its users.”
How will it be enforced?
The council’s enforcement team will be responsible for enforcement of the restrictions.
Will this affect disabled parking?
No disabled parking bays are being removed as part of the proposal. Disabled badge holders can park in the council’s car parks free of charge.
On Marine Parade, disabled badge holders will be permitted to park in the marked bays for four hours during the restricted periods and unlimited on Sundays and after 5pm.
Disabled badge holders other than motorhomes can also park in the areas with the motor home restriction in place as indicated by a single yellow line.
What properties are eligible to apply for a permit?
Properties on Marine Parade from Garnet Street, east to Saltburn Road will be entitled to apply for a permit.
How do I get a permit?
Residents who are eligible for a parking permit will be sent a letter outlining the process for application. Permits will need to be applied for within four weeks of receiving the letter.
To apply for a permit, you will need to complete the enclosed application form and send it to:
Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council, Parking Team, Redcar & Cleveland House, Kirkleatham Street, Redcar, Yorkshire, TS10 1RT
Alternatively, completed forms can be handed into any Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council Library.
How many permits will I be entitled to?
Residential properties will be entitled to one permit for each vehicle that is registered at the property, and a maximum of two visitor permits for any vehicle being used by a visitor to your property.
Business properties will be entitled to one business permit for use by the business.
Permits will be paper-based and must be displayed in the vehicle when parked in the zone.
Why are the jewel street properties and the western section of Marine Parade not eligible to apply for permits?
Only the properties directly fronting the marked bays are entitled to apply for a permit as these properties use this area to park directly outside their homes. The jewel streets will remain unrestricted as they are currently. The Western section of Marine Parade will have a motorhome restriction in place. However, other vehicles can continue to park here for an unrestricted period.
What is an experimental Traffic Regulation Order (ETRO)?
An Experimental Traffic Regulation Order (ETRO) allows formal objections to be made within the first six months of it coming into force, specifically in relation to whether the measures should be made permanent.
The authority may amend the measures during the experimental period in response to monitoring and feedback. Where changes are made, a new six‑month objection period applies from the date those changes come into operation.
An ETRO can remain in force for a maximum of 18 months, after which it must either be made permanent or allowed to lapse.
Why are the changes being made via an experimental TRO?
The experiment will enable the council to monitor the effect of the restrictions including the impact on the wider area which was one of the concerns raised following the advertisement of the previous TRO. The use of an experimental order is considered appropriate because it allows the council to test the impact of measures in real conditions, monitor outcomes over a defined period and make informed decisions about whether to modify, retain or discontinue the scheme.
