Parking strategy consultation

We are holding a public consultation on our new district-wide parking strategy.

The consultation will be done in two phases, with the first phase of a survey running from Tuesday 29 October 2024. 

The final parking strategy is set to be completed by May 2025. 

Local businesses and community organisations will also be engaged directly to ensure their input is heard. 

What the consultation is about

We want to identify parking demand and supply in our car parks, across the district, over the next 20 years.

This will help to make sure parking facilities for cars and other vehicle types are at the right level. And allow more access to towns.

We also want to know about how we can  make long-term improvements to how people travel in the district.

Doing so will help reduce carbon emissions and help to meet the goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2050.

To do this effectively, the new strategy will look at the parking currently available in car parks we operate.

It will also consider public transport, and active travel, such as walking and cycling.

The strategy will also address future transport trends.
