Officers are currently working on the
Darlington Transport Strategy, the Town Centre Transport Plan and
the Darlington Parking Strategy. This will lead to a parking policy
which will detail the charges and arrangements for town centre
residents. This is not expected to be in place until the next
financial year.
Therefore, it has been decided to implement a transitional
arrangement prior to the permanent TRO scheme coming into force.
Residents who live within the Town Centre and have no allocated
parking associated with their place of residence will be able to
apply for a parking permit for the Feethams Multi Storey car park.
The charge for this permit will be £350 per annum. Residents
who have paid the previous charge of £700 per annum for
2021/22 will be entitled to a partial refund.
To reduce the payment for Town Centre
residents to park in the Feethams Multi Storey car park to
£350 per annum.
Reason
To support Darlington Town Centre and encourage urban
living.
Charge to remain at £700 per annum until
Darlington Parking Strategy is implemented.
