Council response
Response provided at the Environment, Transport & Sustainability Committee on 22 June 2021
"Parking charges are reviewed annually by the Council alongside wider environmental considerations that aim to reduce congestion, improve traffic management and improve air quality. The surplus generated from charges after direct costs contributes towards the part funding of bus subsidies, concessionary bus fares and Local Transport Plan costs. Recent charges were voted on at a meeting of all councillors back in February, when we hold budget council.
As part of this we also wanted to specifically address concerns
about affordability and so brought forward proposals, agreed as
part of the fees & charges proposals for 21/22, that a discount
for low income households would be introduced - which is planned to
be brought in within a few months"
