Derbyshire Dales District Council is carrying out a review of its car parks. The review will be split into three phases.
Phase One
- Consider differential charging
- Consider introducing a 30 minute charging policy
- Review the resident concession permit offer
- Review the parking offer for businesses
- Improve the look and appearance of our car parks
- Look to increase the number of electric charge points aimed at residents across the District
Phase Two
- Consider motorhome provision
- Review the free parking policy on some car parks (this was considered in Phase one)
- Review the number of disabled bays
- Work with Derbyshire County Council to increase the number of rapid electric charge points across the District
Phase Three
- Consider expanding our car parks in areas with high visitor numbers
- Identify under-utilised car parks which can be better used to meet the Council’s objectives, such as land for housing
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 to free after 3pm and before 11am. We are now seeking your views on other aspects of our parking policy/provision to help influence possible changes to the way our council car parks are managed. You can complete this survey more than once to cover the fact that you may be a local resident AND business owner/worker and may have different responses to some questions depending on your status. You can find a list of council car parks here.
