We are proposing further emissions-based charges. A consultation will commence from 26 January 2024 until 23 February 2024 on our proposals to make changes to our parking charges. This includes: 

  • Introducing Emissions to Doctors, Teachers, Business-all zone, Business-single zone and Motorcycle Resident Permits 
  • Introducing Diesel Surcharge to Euro 6 Compliant vehicles for all permit types
