Issue details

Interim charge for Town Centre Resident Parking for period whilst the Darlington Parking Strategy is developed and implemented

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.
