Purpose

This decision is to extend parking charges in
council[1]operated car
parks, to include evenings (until 10pm) and Sundays. This approach
to Sunday and Evening charges is in accordance with the options
agreed at Highways Committee (January 2024); as follows:
 
A) Extension of the period of charged (Pay
& Display) parking to 10pm on Mondays to Saturdays. This will
change the end of the charged period in our car parks from 6pm to
10pm, extending the duration of the charged period from 10 hours
(8am to 6pm) to 14 hours (8am to 10pm) daily.
 
B) Introduction of parking charges on Sundays,
by extending weekday (Monday-Saturday) tariffs to Sundays on all
council-operated Pay & Display car parks.
 
C) Introduction of an extra tariff band in the
scale of charges that applies in council car parks, enabling users
to purchase parking for 10-14 hours (all day). This change will
apply pro-rata across our current Low-Medium-High tariff scales.
L
 
D) These extensions of the Pay & Display
tariffs will apply to all council car parks that are charged under
the Off-street Consolidated Order 2015 (as amended) (see appended
schedule). a period of statutory consultation on proposals,
consideration of the consultation responses and minor adjustments
to the proposals that take into account the consultation
outcomes.
