10p Parking introduced ahead of schedule

Following the announcement to change parking tariffs in March after a consultation with residents, local businesses and key organisations within town centres the proposed date for change was June, however the Council recognise that businesses need our support and have worked hard to bring this in sooner.

Feedback from the consultation showed consultees were in favour of a low cost or free initial charge to encourage people to make better use of the town centres and that all day parking prices in off-street car parks should be increased slightly.

From 22 April people using the relevant council car parks will see new lower charges from 10p for one hour, 30p for two and 70p for three hours, for a full list of charges please visit www.trafford.gov.uk/parking. There will be updated information on each machine and signs for lower charges at the entrance to car parks to remind visitors of the new tariffs.

The changes apply to the following car parks across the borough:

The new tariffs apply to the following pay and display car parks as well as on street pay and display areas in Altrincham:

• Regent Road
