A statutory public consultation relating to new parking tariff proposals in Dacorum launched on Wednesday 10 July 2024 and will be open until Wednesday 31 July.

This follows a previous consultation held in 2023. The tariff increases form part of an ongoing review of fees and charges, as part of our need to recover costs and effectively manage our budget.

Parking fees across the borough were last increased in 2019. Over this period, inflation has increased by 28 per cent. The proposed changes will bring our tariffs in line with the cost of inflation.

Cllr Michela Capozzi, our Portfolio Holder for Corporate and Commercial Services, said: “We are working hard to become even more efficient and reduce running costs where possible. We made sure that we engaged with residents on this issue and have been careful to ensure we can continue to offer competitive pricing locally for parking. This will enable us to balance our budgets to provide essential and discretionary services to our residents.”

The proposed parking charges are lower than public sector averages, and local private sector parking charges. The proposals include changes to off-street parking (car parks), town centre on-street parking and controlled parking zones.

Hard copies of the consultation and survey are also available at The Forum in Hemel Hempstead, Victoria Hall in Tring and Berkhamsted Civic Centre.
