The current car parking charges would look strange to a visitor … £1.20 for 3 hours and £3.10 for 4 hours. Things are about to change …

The proposed changes include:

• the introduction of a ‘no charge’ period of two hours
• the need to display a ticket to park for free
• no return to the car park for another free period
• the charge period – the time when a ticket must be displayed – changing from 8-4pm to 8-6pm
• charges for parking periods of more than two hours to rise by 30p
• an increase in permit charges by 6%

There is a consultation on these changes which end this Friday 21 October 2011 at 4:30 PM.
