Decision of the Portfolio Holder for Highways, Travel and Environment
(a) To
align the day rate in the main tourist locations car parks during peak and low season
(b) To
align charges in all other car parks (rural and town locations)
(c) To
align on-street parking charges in areas that already have on-street pay &
display
(d) That
all current public car park permits be withdrawn and that a long stay and
short stay car park permit for residents and workers in the Dorset Council area
be introduced.
(e) That
Purbeck Park car park at Nordon be revert to the level 1 parking tariff.
Reason for the decision
Dorset Council Parking Services is currently working
under the Parking Orders of the former six Councils, this has led to a
disparity of tariffs between areas to the extent that some areas are free to
park all day and others pay £9. An alignment of the Parking Orders is necessary
to standardise charges to ensure equality for residents.
