Under the Traffic Management Act 2004, the Council is required to publish its annual parking accounts, from the previous financial year. This annual report also provides financial and statistical information on parking income, expenditure and Penalty Charge Notices. Parking spaces both on and off street are limited and as such there is a high demand for parking in particular areas of the authority. The key objective of the parking strategy is to relieve or prevent traffic congestion by seeking to maintain a balance between the different requirements of residents, visitors and businesses whilst providing access for the disabled. This report sets out the Council's approach to charging for car parking spaces and provides a base line for future years for the parking strategy, processes and charges. The charges are set to reduce congestion, improve access and be sufficient to recover the costs of implementation and operation of parking services in compliance with current legislation. The income from on-street and off-street parking charges and enforcement activities is used to meet the implementation and operational costs of parking services including Civil Parking Enforcement (CPE). However, government guidance recommends that the Civil Parking Enforcement should seek to be self-financing. In the event that any surplus is realised, this must be used in accordance with the prescribed parameters within the government regulations. Within these parameters, the Council has approved that any surplus should be used in respect of highways improvements and maintenance. The Council is fully committed to being transparent about the parking service it provides and will continue to publish the available detailed information with respect to its provision of car parking services including
