WDC STRATEGIC CAR PARK REVIEWKey Review Findings
Car Park Service Provision has not Kept Pace with Economic, Technical, Social, Demographic & Legislative Changes – Major Changes Required!o Reduced Demand for Off-Street Parking
• Increase in Legal On-Street Parking• Increase in Incorrect (previously illegal) On-Street Parking• Lack of Resources for On-Street Enforcement• Changes in Shopping/Tourist Habits
o 88% of Car Park Income Generated by 15 Car Parks!o Changes in Retail Attraction have left Waveney with Significant Over
Provision of Car Parking Spaceso Structural Repairs Required at Battery Green MSCPo Loss of Revenue from 1 Hour Free Parking Trials in Bungay and
Halesworth £12k & £42k p.a. o Advances in Automated Enforcement Methods
