Cornwall's cabinet give green light to parking improvements
Ambitious long term plans for the future of parking in Cornwall have today been given the green light by Cornwall Council’s cabinet as part of the Positive Parking Framework for Cornwall.
The framework, which includes a £2.1 million investment into improving technology in car parks, establishes a range of measures which will be put in place to make significant improvements into how council car parks meet the needs of users and local communities, covering simplified tariffs, new machines and barriers to enable drivers to pay on exit, improved signage and new systems to consider the needs of carers who need to park in areas with restricted parking.
As part of plans to improve technology in car parks, the region’s enforcement officers will be able to focus on tackling drivers who park illegally or cause an obstruction on Cornwall's streets.
Cornwall Council has signed up to the Positive Parking Agenda - a national initiative between local authorities and the British Parking Association to make parking a better experience for all.
Geoff Brown, cabinet member for transport, said: “Car parks play an important role and the location, availability of spaces and tariffs can affect local communities, economies and the environment. This framework sets out the changes we will make between now and 2030 to improve parking for users, but also to tackle congestion, improve air quality and free up our enforcement officers to deal with on-street parking issues."
