Why have we changed the pricing?
We've updated the pricing as part of our regular review of fees. This change makes things fairer for all. It simplifies the system and supports our growing community. It also encourages the use of cleaner vehicles. It also fixes issues with how multiple permits were priced in the past.
Why have we changed the pricing structure?
We've updated the pricing to make it fairer for everyone. Before, the cost of permits could change based on when you registered your vehicles. Now, the additional amount for each extra vehicle is the same for that vehicle number, no matter the emissions band. The price goes up for each vehicle until you have four. After that, the cost stays the same for any additional vehicles. This helps us manage parking better. It also encourages people to consider their transport options.
How do electric vehicles factor into the changes?
Electric vehicles play a key role in our push for cleaner transportation. The first electric vehicle permit costs £40. This permit has not changed since emissions charges started. But now, the fees for additional vehicles match the costs of all resident permits. This change helps us manage demand for parking within CPZs. It also makes sure that all vehicles pay their fair share for road maintenance.
Where does the money from permit fees go?
Parking permit fees help us keep our Controlled Parking Zones running well. It covers things like administration costs. It also helps us to maintain the infrastructure needed for parking management. This helps us keep our community's services and infrastructure in good shape.
