Decision details

To seek approval to vary parking fees and charges, dependant on parking location and tariff band.

To approve: revised parking fees and charges (Appendix A), absorbing the convenience fee for payment by phone, and to implement annual increases thereafter to offset increases in operational running costs.

The Director for Planning, Development & Transportation will implement the revised tariffs in accordance with the statutory requirements, through use of delegated powers to authorise the making of, or changes to, Traffic Regulation Orders.

To ensure parking fees remain aligned with the council’s climate emergency and local transport plan objectives, benchmarking information and budget ceilings, and addressing increased running costs.

Various price points for parking fees and charges have been considered alongside benchmarking with other cities and public transport to ensure that proposed tariffs reflect the costs and support the Council’s transport policies.
