Parking Charges Policy Consultation

Have your say on Barnet’s Draft Parking Charges Policy

Overview

We are consulting on a new draft Parking Charges Policy. Parking charges help to manage limited parking places to contribute to the accessibility of town centres and other controlled areas, as well as helping us tackle air pollution, achieve our 2030 Net-Zero target, and promote active travel. This links closely with our Corporate Plan of caring for people, our places and the planet, and our wider Transport Strategy which we are currently engaging on.

Why do we need a Parking Charges Policy?

Charges for parking have been set and revised over a number of years in a way which has meant we now have a variety of charges that makes it difficult for visitors to make informed decisions about their travel.

Charges for resident parking in the controlled parking zones or permit parking area within which they live are not within the scope of this policy.

Aim of the policy

The aim of the policy is to set out the basis on which parking charges will be set in the future. Further information on our proposals provided in our Draft Parking Charges Policy which outlines the basis on which parking charges will be set. We have also provided a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) document which provides more information regarding Parking Charges
