The 2018 Local Transport Strategy for East Lothian Council introduced the Parking Management Strategy. The focus of this strategy is to provide balanced and appropriate parking facilities that support the economic, environmental and accessibility requirements of towns in East Lothian. The Strategy also aims to maximise the efficient use of parking provision.
To support the Strategy, East Lothian Council is developing proposals to change the parking restrictions in North Berwick, Tranent, Musselburgh, Dunbar, and Haddington. The project will incentivise people to use more sustainable forms of transport such as the local bus network, cycling, wheeling or walking while also raising revenue to ensure parking can be fully enforced. After that, any remaining revenue will be reinvested back into the local transport network and services.
The project requires a series of Traffic Regulation Orders (TROs) to change the parking restrictions in East Lothian. The making of a TRO must follow the statutory process, The Local Authorities’ Traffic Orders (Procedure) (Scotland) Regulations 1999, to come into force.
Tranent
Tranent Parking Management Consultation
We recognise Tranent’s need for better parking solutions to manage high demand, especially at peak times. We’re committed to improvements, and we want to hear from you!
By working closely with the Tranent community, we aim to understand the issues affecting residents and businesses. Your feedback is important to find effective parking solutions in Tranent. This work also aligns with our 2018 Local Transport and Parking Management Strategy.
Why Tranent?
Following a period of engagement with the Community Council and Area Partnership, we identified the below parking challenges in Tranent:
-
A general misuse of parking facilities, for example, residential areas being used by onward commuters, double yellow lines being ignored and vehicles blocking bus stops, driven by a lack of enforcement throughout the town.
-
Infrequent turnover of parking spaces leading to a reduced number of parking options for shopping and visitors to Tranent .
-
Dangerous parking practices around schools and drop-off areas leading to pupil, teacher and driver safety concerns.
-
High traffic volumes, particularly on A199 Edinburgh Road near Polson Park; pedestrian safety concerns on Church Street due to vehicles parking on the footway and business customers parking in residential areas on Elphinstone Road .
Together, we can address Tranent’s parking challenges. Based on our engagements to date, the types of solutions that have been discussed have included:
-
The introduction of controlled parking where appropriate. Areas would be designated as short, medium or long-stay parking.
-
Short stay car parking areas would offer a limited period of FREE parking time. Once this time has elapsed, a charge would be applied.
-
The introduction of resident parking permits. These permits would allow unlimited parking throughout the day without a daily charge. However, such a solution would likely have an annual fee.
-
A provision for healthcare workers to obtain parking permits. These permits would function similarly to resident permits. Healthcare providers would need to apply to the council to receive permits for their staff.
-
Greater enforcement of Tranent’s parking regulations. This should lead to a higher turnover of parking spaces, positively impacting the local economy by providing more parking options for shoppers and visitors. Additionally, better enforcement would improve pedestrian safety by reducing instances of illegal parking.
-
Improve pedestrian safety by reducing instances of illegal parking.
A plan of the high level parking management strategies is shown below with the specific proposals for each car park also listed.
The proposed hours of operation, charges and length of stay are included in the table below.

North Berwick
Previous Consultation
In Autumn 2022 we consulted on proposals to introduce new parking policies in North Berwick. These included charging for on and off-street parking places, the introduction of Controlled Parking Zones that provided residential parking areas. The responses from the consultation were analysed and fed back into a review of proposals, which were then modified.
Council Officers reported to Elected Members at a full Council meeting in April 2023. Approval was given for Council Officers to move to the next stage of introducing a parking management scheme, progressing the TROs.
In August 2023, East Lothian Council gave notice that it intended to make TROs to amend enforceable waiting restrictions on various roads across North Berwick, and representations were received and analysed. Ultimately it was determined that the Draft TRO should be withdrawn to enable officers to integrate the feedback and as such the proposals were modified and amended draft TROs published.
East Lothian Council was given notice that it intends to make new TROs to amend enforceable waiting restrictions on various roads and car parks across North Berwick. This has now been completed and the Orders Made are outlined below.

You Said, We Did
Consideration of Responses
Following the last round of consultation we have reviewed all feedback received regarding the first TRO. As a result of this review, we have made changes which are incorporated into the TRO being published now. We have responded to the comments and themes from the last round of consultation below.
Comments and Feedback
We received over 600 individual comments during the last consultation, we have therefore themed the comments and responded below.
1. There is little or no enforcement of existing restrictions
The proposed changes to parking restrictions in North Berwick will help raise revenue, which will be used to ensure the town has the appropriate level of parking enforcement.
2. The scheme is an income generation scheme
Income generated by the scheme will be used to increase enforcement of parking regulations in North Berwick. Any surplus revenue will be reinvested back into the local transport network and services.
3. The scheme will not raise enough money to be self-financing
Under the current proposals, we envisage the scheme will be self-financing through the changes to the parking restriction and the introduction of charging in North Berwick.
4. Scheme does not encourage parking turn over
We are proposing to introduce a maximum length of stay where appropriate. This should result in an increase in parking turnover allowing people who arrive in North Berwick to find parking throughout the day. Turnover of spaces will be enforced by the Council’s enforcement team.
5. The proposed scheme will reduce the number of parking spaces
The proposed scheme does not reduce the number of parking spaces available in North Berwick. It maintains the current number of spaces and with a modification to Forth Street additional spaces are being provided.
6. The proposals need to be simplified
In response to this feedback from the previous consultation, we have simplified how the orders are presented, which hopefully makes them easier to understand.
7. Residents should take priority over visitors
We will be introducing residents permits in North Berwick. The resident’s permits will allow the permit holder to stay in a parking space for an unrestricted amount of time. Whereas visitors to the town and those without a permit will be subject to the maximum time allowed in the space.
8. Long stay visitors are not taken into account in these proposals
In consideration of views in the previous consultation, we have decided to introduce weekly permits for visitors to licenced short term let properties. For those with family or friends staying for a long period of time, residents can use their visitor permit allocation.
9. The proposals do not factor in Tradespeople
These proposals introduce visitor permits for residents, which can be used to allow visiting trades people to park at a reduced rate without a maximum stay being imposed.
10. These proposals will create problems for carers visiting clients
We will ensure NHS health workers, home care workers and social workers will be able to obtain parking permits to visit patients in their home.
11. The East Zone provides cheaper parking and longer stay than the West Zone
Where practical, the proposed scheme provides for the same length of stay and same charges for both the East and West zones.
12. The scheme will encourage campervan / motorhome parking
As a result of the feedback received from the previous consultation, we have changed the wording in the TRO, which now proposes to limit the ability of motor caravans to park in North Berwick.
13. Need to consider Haugh Road parking in one order
Based on the feedback from the previous consultation, we are introducing parking restrictions on Haugh Road to ensure the road is not blocked by parked vehicles and parking charges are being introduced within the car parks restricting the time vehicles can be parked.
14. Height restrictions removed from residential streets
The proposed TRO do not change or remove any existing vehicle height restrictions in North Berwick.
15. School Road parking places reduced
In the proposed TROs, we have maintained the number of parking places available on School Road.
16. West Zone – issue with access due to parking opposite gateways
We have taken into account the feedback from the previous consultation and have amended the proposed parking restrictions to take into account vehicle access.
17. Roads have sufficient width to have bays on one side with unrestricted parking opposite
As a result of comments regarding some road widths, we have undertaken a thorough review of the width of the carriageways. This has led us to change our proposed restrictions to ensure, where necessary, the routes are clear of parked vehicles opposite parking bays, ensuring the roads are full accessible.
18. Insufficient blue badge holder parking bays
To make North Berwick more accessible to disabled drivers we maintained the existing blue badge spaces and include two new bays on Melbourne Place in our proposals. We have also removed restrictions on blue badge holders from parking in other marked bays, opening further options to disabled drivers.
19. Waiting time in the High Street should be restricted to 1 hour
We understand it can be frustrating not being able to park closer to the High Street, especially when parking turnover is not always fast. However, our proposals do not seek to change the current provisions on the High Street. Therefore, under these proposals the maximum stay on the High Street will remain at 90 minutes.

FAQs
Introducing parking charges
1. Are the proposals supported by the adopted parking strategy?
Yes, the current proposals reflect the adopted parking strategy for East Lothian Council.
2. Why are you proposing to introduce parking charges in North Berwick?
Demand for parking in many East Lothian town centres such as North Berwick can be high, particularly at peak periods. The growth in car ownership has contributed to this. A limited number of parking spaces can make it difficult for people to access amenities and local businesses throughout the day.
We want to improve the availability of short stay parking in the town centre by increasing the turnover of existing car parking spaces. We also want to encourage more people to travel via active and sustainable modes of transport where possible.
Having a higher turnover of spaces and a reduction in car usage will support the local economy by making it easier and safer to access North Berwick town centre. Improved parking management supports enhancing the environment and addressing challenges associated with a changing climate.
3. How do you know parking turnover is low in North Berwick?
A detailed traffic and parking survey was carried out in North Berwick to understand the level of parking space turnover. After that, any remaining revenue will be reinvested back into the local transport network and services.
4. What will happen to the money raised?
The money raised by parking charges will be used to pay for the enforcement of parking restrictions in North Berwick. Any surplus monies will be reinvested for local highway and transport improvement works.
5. Could the introduction of charges put people off visiting places such as North Berwick?
There is no evidence to suggest that parking charges reduces the number of visitors to towns when this has been implemented in other areas in Scotland. Charging for parking helps to have a turnover of spaces, which would allow more people to visit the town.
East Lothian Council is currently one of only seven of the 32 Scottish councils that do not charge for parking, off-street, on street, or residents’ paid parking. Therefore, introducing charges for parking would be more consistent with something that happens in most other parts of the country.
6. When will charges apply?
The charges will apply from 08:30-18:00 Monday to Saturday and 13:00-18:00 on Sundays. The Council will employ additional enforcement officers to enforce those over-staying in spaces, non-payment and parking outside the designated areas.
7. Will this make it easier for town centre residents to park?
We are proposing to introduce permits for residents in the busiest areas of the town to park without penalty near their place of residence.
8. Will this disadvantage motorists with disabilities?
The proposals maintain provision for people with disabilities who need a parking space in the town centre. No changes are proposed to the locations of existing dedicated blue badge parking areas for blue badge holders within the town centre and two new spaces are proposed on Melbourne Road. Blue badge holders are also able to park in charged bays for free.
9. What changes are being proposed to waiting and unloading restrictions?
No changes are proposed to the existing waiting, loading and unloading areas within the town, except for the east end of the High Street which is subject to a separate review aiming to improve accessibility and safety.
10. How will the scheme impact businesses?
The scheme maintains short term parking for visitors to the town centre. The charges will help to ensure there is a turnover of parking spaces in the town, with appropriate enforcement, allowing more visitors to park in the town centre and encouraging more people to visit.
11. Where can I park all day if I work in the town?
Level 3 on street charging areas allow all day parking with a maximum charge of £5 per day. These are predominantly in the less congested roads on the outer extents of the west and east zones. All day parking is also available without charge outside the CPZ areas.
12. How will I know that parking charge apply?
Parking bays will be marked on the road with signs indicating the restrictions on parking and whether payment will be required to be able to park.
13. Isn’t this just about raising money for the council?
Our key focus here is to improve parking management to increase turnover of spaces and in doing so support the local economy and help to improve the environment by encouraging more people to use more active modes of transport where possible.
Income made from parking charges will in the first instance be used to enforce the local parking regulations. After that, any remaining revenue will be reinvested back into the local transport network and services.
14. Why are you only proposing these changes to North Berwick?
Parking supply is being assessed on a town-by-town basis, taking the views of the public into account. This was a requirement set out in our Local Transport Strategy.
North Berwick is the first town to have been assessed under this requirement. We are now consulting with the public on the proposed parking management strategy that has been developed in response to the assessment of parking in North Berwick and to previous consultation feedback.
Following this consultation, we will be assessing parking in other towns across East Lothian and will be consulting the public and stakeholders extensively in each town affected by the proposed changes.
15. Why can’t you just create more parking spaces?
Whilst we do want to explore opportunities for new parking provision, there are difficulties in terms of land availability and delivering new car parking solutions which are appropriate and sympathetic to the surroundings and in areas where there is a demand for parking.
Apparent parking shortages or increases in demand for spaces can be better resolved in the first instance through parking management including time restrictions, price setting and improved enforcement rather than by increasing the supply of parking.
Part of the reasoning for this scheme is to encourage people to use more sustainable modes of transport including public transport, cycling and walking where possible. This has wider benefits in terms of improved air quality, better public health and helps to reduce carbon emissions in the area.
16. Why is the council not doing more to promote sustainable transport options over driving?
East Lothian Council’s Local Transport Strategy aims to have well connected communities with increased use of sustainable modes of transport to access services and amenities.
We are encouraging greater use of public transport and promoting active travel modes such as cycling, walking, and wheeling to help address the Climate Emergency. We are also installing more charging points for electric vehicles across East Lothian.
We realise that many people rely on driving to get to and from locations. Through this project, we have therefore decided to review the steps that can be taken to manage parking facilities available in our town centres to help increase awareness whilst encouraging more people to use more sustainable modes of transport.
17. Why are you not focussing more on dangerous parking?
We recognise parking can also cause congestion and reduce safety on our streets, especially when cars do not park within the spaces provided. We believe these proposals will help us address some of the issues. Increased enforcement of parking within North Berwick will also assist in reducing the instances of dangerous parking around the town.
Resident permits
18. How much are resident permits?
Each resident permit will cost £40.
19. How long will residents permits be valid for?
Each resident permit will be valid for one year. An application for a new permit will need to be made on an annual basis.
20. How many resident permits can each household have?
If the house is the main residence – up to two permits can be issued. If the house is not the main place of residence, for example is a holiday home or a second home, one permit may be issued.
21. Are resident permits transferable?
Resident permits are not transferable. Each permit will be issued for a specific car.
22. What happens if I get a new car?
If you get a new car, you will need to contact the council and provide details of the new car. The council will then cancel the old permit and issue a new one associated with the new number plate.
23. Can I park in any zone with a resident parking permit?
Parking permits will be issued for specific zones. Only those with Central zone permits will be eligible to park in neighbouring zones due to the limited number of available on street parking spaces within the Central zone.
24. Will I be able to get permits for visitors?
Yes, permits will be available to visitors within the parking zones.
25. Do I need to have a resident parking permit to have visitor permits?
No, any household within the zone can purchase visitor permits.
26. How many visitor permits can I have?
A maximum of 20 one day visitor permits will be available per year for each household in a parking zone.
27. How much are visitor permits?
We will charge £4 for each visitor permit and they will be valid for one day.
28. Are health care workers exempt from the restrictions?
We have made provision so healthcare workers can obtain parking permits which operate in the same way as residents permits. Healthcare workers’ employers will need to apply via the Council for the permits.
RNLI
29. Are RNLI staff able to park during emergency call outs?
We are proposing to introduce specific RNLI permit holder bays on Melbourne Road to be used during emergencies. If these bays are full, the RNLI permits will be valid in other on street parking bays.
30. How much are RNLI permits?
There will be no charge for RNLI permits.
Parking in car parks
31. How much will it cost to park in:
Imperial Car Park, Castle Hill Car Park, Lodge Car Park, Glebe Car Park
The cost will be 50p for every half hour, with a maximum stay of 5 hours.
Kirk Ports Car Park
The first 45 minutes will be free, up to 75 minutes will be £1 and up to 90 minutes will be £2 . The maximum stay in this car park will be 90 minutes.
32. How will I know when parking charges apply?
Signs will be provided in each car park outlining the charging period and the charges that apply.
There will also be signs for on-street parking bays, along with an indication of the parking restrictions and charges as necessary.
33. Why isn’t the station car park included in the proposed scheme?
The station car park is operated by Scotrail. We are only including car parks operated by East Lothian Council for this scheme.
34. Will the scheme increase the number of parking spaces?
This scheme will maintain the current number of parking spaces in all car parks.
Motor caravans
35. What is a motor caravan?
A motor caravan is the legal definition used to define what is considered a motorhome or a campervan.
36. Will the scheme ban motor caravans?
Motor caravans are not being banned; however, restrictions are being tightened so there will only be two car parks where a motor caravan will be allowed to park. The existing height restrictions on vehicles are being retained in car parks. The new Traffic Regulation Order will also prohibit the use of parking bays by caravans, trailers and motor caravans.
37. Can I park my motor caravan in a car park?
Motor caravans are not permitted to park in car parks in North Berwick, except for the Sewage Works and Haugh Road Car Parks.
Paying for parking
38. How will I pay for parking?
You will be able to pay by phone, card, cash or other electronic means.
39. What happens if I don’t pay?
If you don’t pay in an area where parking charges apply you may end up with a penalty charge notice from the parking enforcement team. A penalty charge notice costs £100, although this is reduced by 50% if paid within 14 days
40. How do I appeal a parking ticket?
If you would like to appeal a parking ticket, please go to Parking Enforcement | Parking | East Lothian Council on the East Lothian Council website. You can find details of how to challenge a fine by post or online on the website.
41. How do I complain about dangerous / bad parking?
You can complain about bad or dangerous parking by reporting it to Police Scotland on the non-emergency telephone number 101.
42. Will there be a season ticket option as in other areas of Scotland?
The option of season tickets has been considered and due to the limited number of parking spaces is not being introduced as part of this scheme. Following the implementation of the scheme, it will be subject to review where the introduction of season tickets can be considered.
Consultation
43. What consultation has there been?
Council officers have engaged with residents, local groups, organisations and businesses over the last few years regarding the proposed changes to parking restrictions in North Berwick.
In 2022 we ran a public consultation between 2 November and 13 December. This was promoted using various methods including leaflets to households, press articles and social media posts. Paper copies of the materials were available to view at North Berwick Community Centre, North Berwick Library, North Berwick Medical Practice, Gullane Library and Gullane Medical Practice. We also held drop-in events to allow people to speak to us directly about the proposals and ask questions.
In total our website received 4,652 visits, 1,407 completed surveys, of which 704 were from North Berwick residents, 241 people attended the public consultation events, 121 emails were received and 17 letters were received at our offices.
Having reviewed the feedback received from the 2022 consultation, in August 2023, East Lothian Council gave notice that it intended to make TROs to amend enforceable waiting restrictions on various roads across North Berwick. We received over 600 individual comments. Following the review of those comments we have made changes which are incorporated into the TRO being published now.
44. Have you listened to feedback?
We have listened and responded to feedback by making changes to the original proposals. You can find our responses, feedback and changes in the ‘You Said, We Did’ in the section above.
45. What is the purpose of this consultation?
This consultation introduces the final version of proposals for changes to parking restrictions in North Berwick. We will gather further views and opinions. This will feed into a report that will be presented to the Fully Council in late 2024/early 2025, along with our recommendations based on the feedback received in all rounds of consultation.
46. How do I support, comment on, or object to the proposals?
