Review on paying to park...

Plans to introduce Sunday parking charges are being considered in Redcar and Cleveland. The borough says charging for Sunday parking is one of several options now out to public consultation. Sunday charging is proposed in pay and display car parks and on-street, short-stay pay and display places. Existing tariffs would apply, with a £1 Sunday tariff in long-stay car parks.The measure was among several outlined in a public notice. Seasonal charges at Saltburn promenade and the Cat Nab car park would be imposed all year round. Cabinet member for strategic planning, development and infrastructure, Councillor Eric Empson said: "We are looking at all parking throughout the borough and seeing where we can regularise some of the systems we have in place." He said there were "some anomalies" they hoped to iron out.He added: "I don't think it will stop people coming." Details of the proposals are in statutory notices in the Gazette, Herald and Post and Eston Town Hall.
