Purpose

To propose new Parking Fees & Charges, and
service offers, requiring On and Off-street Traffic Regulation
Orders changes.

Decision

o propose new Parking Fees & Charges, and
service offers, some requiring On and Offstreet Traffic
Regulation Orders changes to meet revenue ambition for 2025-26 and
beyond.
Further rationale….

Rutland County Council cannot raise the amount of Penalty Charges
as these are nationally set. National government is considering
amounts due to a campaign from authorities asserting that current
amounts do not provide adequate disincentive against parking in
contravention.

Changes are detailed below:
Pay & Display charges increase with exception of 30 mins tariff
remaining free
1 hour from £1.20 to £1.50
NEW 2 hours £2.90
3 hours from £3 to £3.70
Up to 6 hours £5.20 ABOLISHED
Day from £5.80 to £7
Week (Mon-Sat) from £21 to £25
(1 month from £55 to £80 not offered but reserved as
tariff option until such time as practical for pay & machines
to reliably take this amount)

remaining free

1 hour from £1 to £1.30
NEW 2 hours £2.50
3 hours from £2.80 to £3.50

(* if convenience fee differs from that associated with
shorter-term tariff, may be negligibly reduced to pay & display
month tariff or season ticket tariffs)

any changes onboarding with National Parking
Platform remain outside of this decision as they are a matter of
future contracts.
