The car parking strategy looks at future car parking needs in
the district's main settlements. The strategy consists of two
documents:
The Study Report sets out the framework for all parking matters
up to 2016. It covers many different aspects of car parking
including data collection and analysis, production of demand
forecasts town by town, explanations of options for dealing with
any imbalance between car parking supply and demand, modelling of
possible tariff changes, the enforcement of regulations for both
SSDC car parks and on-street parking, and the implications of
introducing Decriminalised Parking Enforcement (now known as Civil
Parking Enforcement) ie the transfer of on-street enforcement from
Police to Local Authority personnel.
The Report is supported by detailed technical analysis on a
number of issues and these are attached as appendices.
Additionally, summary results of surveys of car park use can be
viewed via the links to the right, as can maps of the settlements
showing their car parks.
The Study Report acts as a foundation for the District Wide
Parking Strategy and consideration of comments received during
consultation with stakeholders has led to the formulation
of the. The Executive Strategy Document. This builds on
the basis provided by the Study Report and addresses the
possible undersupply of parking in some of the main towns, the
management options for car parking including review of supply and
demand, car park layouts, tariffs (costs and times), alternative
methods of management, and potential for alleviating demand.
The Executive Strategy also considers the possible introduction
of Civil Parking Enforcement (CPE).
