In order to prepare for this change, the Executive agreed to a wide-ranging review of the Parking Service. This took place during 2019 with desk research, parking surveys and a public consultation feeding into the analysis. The detailed results of the review can be found in Appendix A.
A new General Enforcement Team has been created and was fully operational by 01 April 2020, at which point the Council was no longer responsible for on-street parking.
In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, charging for town centre car parks ceased between 25 March and 1 June 2020. This resulted in lost income of just over £300,000, placing further financial pressure on the Council.
