Football Fans Reminded of Restricted Parking Zone

With the Premiership season kicking off this weekend, football fans are being reminded that a restricted parking zone will be in operation around Dens and Tannadice parks on matchdays. 

Dundee FC will play Hibernian on Sunday (Aug 3), and the council is advising supporters that parking attendants will issue penalty charge notices to vehicles parked illegally in the zone which do not have an exemption. 

The match day scheme covers an area bounded by Dens Road, Caird Avenue, Clepington Road, Court Street North and Arklay Street and includes around 1400 properties.   

An order banning parking by non-residents is in effect on match days, but residents and blue badge holders will still be able to use the streets.  

Under the scheme parking attendants have “an allow-list” to identify vehicles that are permitted to be within the area when matches are being played.

City council depute convener of Fair Work, Economic Growth and Infrastructure Cllr Siobhan Tolland said: “This scheme was brought in two years ago and followed consultation with local residents. 

“The city’s football grounds are uniquely situated closely together in a residential area and we are aware of the problems that were caused by football parking for those living near the grounds. 

“I would ask football fans to pay attention to the road signage which informs them they are entering a restricted parking zone and the times when it is in effect.”
