Pay and Display Parking Charge Increase April 2026
Pay and display charges for on-street parking can be varied by notice under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984.
The primary reason for charging for parking is to manage the demand and support our transport policy objectives. The Council also needs to cover the costs of running the parking service.
The County Council’s policy for parking is set out in the Local Transport Plan. Effective management of on-street parking, in conjunction with provision of off-street parking is recognised as making a significant contribution to reducing congestion, whilst supporting access to residents, services and businesses. This approach aims to ensure that the balance between on and off-street charging is maintained.
Parking charges are now being changed from 6th April 2026.
