What is the restricted resident parking zone around the Etihad Campus?

Manchester City Council has introduced a new restricted parking zone in East Manchester which includes the roads surrounding the Etihad Stadium.

The Eastlands Residents Parking Scheme replaces the existing parking zone which has operated on matchdays around the stadium for several years.

Starting from the 31st of March 2024 the new zone will be in operation. 

Manchester City Council’s new zone will be in operation from midday to 11 pm every day, meaning many streets in the area will be restricted to parking for permit holders during all matchdays at the Etihad Stadium.

We understand that the Council’s new policy will change how some fans travel to the Etihad Stadium. As a result, in line with our efforts to continuously improve fans’ experiences and encourage more sustainable transport, we have identified a range of alternative travel methods.

This includes trialling a recently launched Matchday Bus Network in partnership with the Bee Network to help fans from across Greater Manchester travel to and from the Etihad Stadium. The accessible service includes 15 different routes operating across 60 stops, covering a combined total of more than 340 miles.
