Have your say on review of car parking
Derbyshire Dales District Council is asking local people for their views on possible changes to its car parking policy.
In Spring 2023 the District Council conducted a resident survey on the free resident concession permit and whether any changes could be considered. Using the feedback from this survey the hours of the free resident concession permit have been extended from free after 4pm and before 11am to free after 3pm and before 11am.
The Council is now seeking residents’ views on other aspects of their parking policy to help influence possible changes to the way the council car parks are managed.
The review will consider varying parking tariffs in both underused and busy tourist hotspot car parks. It will also consider the provision of disabled parking bays and those for motorhomes and bicycles. Additionally, it will seek to identify under-utilised car parks which can be better used to meet the Council’s objectives, such as land for housing.
To have you say, complete the online questionnaire Parking Consultation 2024.
A District Council spokesperson said: "It's important to stress that no decisions have yet been made. Feedback from this survey will go to a future meeting of the Community & Environment Committee when councillors will consider whether to make further changes to the parking policy.
The deadline for submissions is 18 September.
