Decision details

To consider the car parking pricing policy

Resolved

(1)          That the following proposed car parking changes be noted:

·         Increase the 1^st hour from £1.10 to £1.20. This will increase income broadly in line with inflation.

·         Keep the 2^nd and 3^rd hour unchanged as parking usage has demonstrated that use has declined and is not competitive with alternative car parking offers.

·         Increase the daily charge from £5.00 to £5.50 – an increase of 10p per hour - in line with inflation and as long stay car parks are showing increasing demand from increasing numbers of workers returning to office.

·         Increase the ultra short stay from £1.10 to £1.20 for ½ hour. Increase the hour rate from  £1.60 to £1.70 in ultra short stay car parks, where it is evidenced that there is increasing demand.

(2)          That the publishing of the revised charges be approved.
