Charnwood Borough Council is considering making some changes to charges at its car parks in Loughborough.
Increasing charges is not something the council does lightly, but the parking charges have been unchanged for 12 years. Costs have risen during that time.
Since 2019, our operating costs for the car parks have increased by 27 per cent and revenue has dropped by 15 per cent. As an example, electricity costs for the car parks over the past five years have more than doubled to over £90,000 a year.
The Council is therefore considering making some increases to charges.
This is to help ensure we can continue to provide high-quality car parks for people to use.
The proposed changes are listed in full on this Council website page.
