The consultation – which started on Wednesday 3 June, will run for a period of 21 days closing on Wednesday 24 June – proposes the following changes:
- Parking permits – A £10 increase across all existing parking permits to support the significant costs of running, maintaining, and enforcing our parking infrastructure.
- Additional parking permits – A £50 surcharge on second and subsequent permits.
- Diesel fuelled vehicles – An £80 surcharge for diesel fuelled vehicles.
- On-street pay-to-park and off-street car parks – a 25% surcharge to on-street pay to park areas and off-street car parks.
- Visitor permits – households would be limited to no more than two daily visitor permits at any one time. Daily visitor permits would increase to £4 across all CPZ areas.
- Disabled Blue Badge Holders – a free residential permit for Disabled Blue Badge Holders, to replace the companion badge scheme and the requirement to display that permit.
- Administration Fee for parking permit refunds – the council is proposing a £20 administration fee on processing parking permit refunds. It is also proposed that visitor scratch cards shall become non-refundable.
This work is in line with the council’s Transport Strategy, which sets out a 10-year plan to improve air quality in the borough to support the health of residents, reduce congestion, and encourage active travel, such as walking and cycling, and to improve the road network in the borough.
Following the consultation, the new prices will be confirmed in September 2020 and introduced from November 2020. For more details visits the Parking Consultations page on the website.
