Dear Councillor
A range of parking charge proposals, including the introduction of emission-based parking charges to all council-owned car parks where the scheme currently doesn’t operate and on-street pay and display locations in Bath, are being consulted on.
A review of parking charges across Bath & North East Somerset was agreed earlier this year as part of the council’s budget.
Now people are being asked to comment on the wider roll-out of the proposals which aim to improve air quality through a major shift to sustainable transport, walking and cycling and incentives to reduce the use of more polluting vehicles.
Under the proposed changes all parking charges would see a modest increase over the next two years, as well as the introduction of parking charges for motorbikes.
Emission-based parking charges were introduced in the council’s Bath car parks last year and the council is proposing a wider roll out of the scheme to all other Council car parks including those in Keynsham, Midsomer Norton, and Radstock, and on-street pay and display locations in Bath.
People are being asked to have their say in the consultation, which closes at 5pm 8 August. The council will consider the feedback to this proposal before making the final decision about whether to implement it as council policy.
To see a full breakdown of the proposed charges and take part in the consultation please go to the council’s consultation webpage at https://beta.bathnes.gov.uk/parkingchargereview
If residents or other stakeholders have any questions about the proposals, or require clarification before the submit their response online, they can contact the team via email at parking_consultation@bathnes.gov.uk, and we will endeavour to respond within 5 working days.
