New parking signage goes live

New electronic signage showing parking availability has been installed in roads approaching the town centre.

The new signs show the number of available spaces in each of the town's council-run car parks - the multi-storey in Gascoyne Way, St.Andrew Street, London Road and at Hartham - a total of 726 spaces.

The purpose of the signs is to improve wayfunding and reduce congestion in the town centre as people drive around looking for somewhere to park.

It is also hoped that the signs will counter the narrative that there's inadequate parking in the town.

The project is co-funded by Hertford Town Council and East Herts Council via the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. The cost of the project is £165,310, with £65K provided by the town council.
