Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council said more roads could be included as part of a “village wide parking plan”.

Roads to get restrictions are Poplar Road, Fennis Close up to Beckford Croft, Cawdon Grove, Rodborough Road area, Station Road and Westfield Close.

No details of the type of restrictions – likely to be yellow lines – have been announced though work will be finished in by next April.

A council report said: “Officers are aware that all day parking is occurring on many roads around Dorridge railway station.

“In response to concerns raised by local ward members and residents, officers are currently working on the introduction of a village wide parking plan for Dorridge as part of the 2014/15 Traffic Regulation Order works programme.”

A petition has been handed by the council from residents of Brooksby Grove calling for restrictions.

A council report said: “As part of the village wide parking plan for Dorridge, the residents of Brooksby Grove will be formally consulted on the introduction of further parking restrictions.

“The implementation of any further restrictions will be subject to the outcome of that exercise.”


The council has also set aside £25,000 for restrictions in Widney Road by Widney Dental Care.
