Parking to be examined in Rutland
A consultation's opened into the new Parking Policy.
A new Parking Policy aims to support both the economy and environment in Rutland.
The County Council's looking into areas including capacity, infrastructure and enforcement, to help residents and visitors to enjoy the area and what it has to offer through its new Parking Policy.
Councillor Ian Razzell, Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport said:
“We’re encouraging residents and businesses to have their say on the new Parking Policy because transport and how we get around are key to the health, sustainability and vibrancy of our local communities. Whether you drive a car, ride a bike or simply walk to your destination, the quality of public parking can have a big bearing on your journey. We are responding to what we’ve heard in the Future Rutland Conversation by taking an inclusive approach.
"We want to think about Rutland beyond roads and cars while understanding that these will always be important for rural communities. Better parking provision and better routes can help our local economy and our environment by allowing people to move around more easily.”
A consultation into the matter has opened today (28 March) and runs until 1 May.
