New Parking System
​
​
​
The James Paget Hospital is changing it parking scheme for visitors.
The James Paget University Hospital will bring in the new
Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) method from next week.
It means that patients and visitors will no longer need barriers or tokens, with hopes the new system will make entry and exit to the site both quicker and easier.
The new system is due to go live on Monday 12th May.
In addition to the below there will be an option to pay cash.
Further detail to follow
When it is live please follow these steps:
1. Arrive in the car park and find a space.
2. Remember or make a note of your vehicle registration as you will need it later.
3. Attend your appointment or visit.
4. When you are ready to leave, go to one of the two pay stations outside main entrance. Pay using a valid credit/debit card or online via our parking App and enter your car registration so that the ANPR system recorgnises that you have paid for your parking.
5. Return to your vehicle and exit the car park.
​
The car parking charges remain the same and there is no change to their concessionary or free parking arrangements, or disabled parking provision.

Stokesby has joined the growing number of villages that now has its own Community Speed Watch.
What Is Community Speed Watch?
Put simply, speed monitoring is carried out by trained volunteers from the community, with follow-up work on education and enforcement by Norfolk Safety Camera Partnership, Norfolk Police and your Local Authority.
Initially, letters are sent to registered keepers of offending vehicles asking for their assistance in keeping speeds down in your community, with persistent offenders targeted for police enforcement. Local Authority Road Safety staff can help with supporting initiatives, including the use of Speed Awareness Messaging Devices (SAM’s).
Speed watch signs have now been put up in Stokesby warning motorists that the scheme exists hoping that this will reduce the number of people who persistently speed through our village.
Occasionally the volunteers will be joined by police officers who can issue speeding tickets on the spot.
