Parking Places Order 2024
Introduction
We are amending some aspects of car parking across the city. The proposed changes support the delivery of our Corporate Plan, in supporting a Balanced Budget and the Medium Term Financial Plan. Car park income supports the delivery of a wide range of our services that attract people to live, work and visit Exeter, as well as keeping Council Tax low for residents of the city.
How we will consult and keep people informed
On the proposed changes, a number of actions will be undertaken to inform car park users and other stakeholders of the proposals:
- for those that park in City Council car parks, posters will be displayed within all affected car parks
- an advert will be placed in the Express & Echo, to notify those that live within and surrounding Exeter of the proposed changes
- an online consultation detailing the proposals will be available on our website
- detailed information on the proposals is included in a committee report to Executive on 13 August 2024
- Belmont Road Car Park proposals: letters will be delivered to properties in close proximity to this car park
- partners and stakeholders will be contacted directly for their feedback on the proposals, including (but not limited to) InExeter, Exeter Chamber, Exeter FSB and Devon County Council to provide feedback on proposals
We encourage city stakeholders to provide feedback and suggestions as to how the City Council might achieve a projected car park income target of £9.2m and how car parking can support Net Zero ambitions.
Once the consultation has taken place, data and evidence will be gathered to make an informed decision on a way forward. A report will be taken to Executive Autumn 2024 highlighting any changes to the original proposals, with implementation shortly after.
