The consultation on our parking management strategy and action plan asks about proposed charges for car parks and on-street locations in Portishead, Nailsea and Clevedon.
It also asks about plans for a new short-stay parking permit, which we hope would promote local shopping and therefore benefit businesses and the economy.
We want your feedback on how you park now and what parking charge prices, locations and hours of operation could look like.
We realise people will have lots of different views, whether you’re a resident, visitor or business owner, so please take the opportunity to have your say.
It may feel that we’re asking more of residents when they are facing financial pressures and feeling the squeeze.
However, like all councils across the country, we’re facing unprecedented demand for services at a time of rising costs.
Over the next four years to 2028 we’ve got to make savings to cover a £50m funding gap.
In response to these same financial pressures, many local authorities, including neighbours in Somerset and Bath and North East Somerset, have introduced parking charges.
The consultation is open until midday on Tuesday 7 May.
Drop-in information sessions will also be held at various locations across North Somerset throughout April.
Keep an eye on our website for details of events.
Once the consultation closes, we’ll analyse your responses and use them to help shape the detail of the parking proposals.
Our executive members will then consider whether to take the proposals further later in the year.
