Evening Parking Charges Approved

Evening parking charges for the town's car parks were approved at a meeting of the Joint Scrutiny Committee on 12th February.

A charge of £1 will be applied to parking between 6:30pm and 9:00pm from Monday to Saturday.

There is also a change to the daytime parking charges, with the two and three hour band being merged at the existing 2 hour price of £1.50. Therefore a three hour ticket for the town's car parks will come down from £2.20 to £1.50.

The scheme is to run for a trial period of a year and is subject to ratification by the Council Executive.
