DARLINGTON BOROUGH COUNCIL - VARIATION OF CAR PARK CHARGES

Notice is hereby given pursuant to Section 35C and 46A of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 that Darlington Borough Council proposes to vary the charges for the use of the on-street and off-street parking places Monday-Saturday in the following manner:-

1. Any person leaving a vehicle in the off-street parking places listed in Schedule One and East Street Parking Place will receive the first two hours of parking free of charge. A ticket must be obtained from the machine and displayed clearly inside the vehicle at the start of the period of parking and must cover the whole of the period of that vehicle's stay in the parking place, including the first two free hours and any subsequent hours of paid parking. No person shall cause or permit any vehicle to be left in the parking place if a period of less than 1 hour has elapsed since the termination during the charging hours of the last period of waiting (if any) of the vehicle in the same parking place. The charge for stays beyond the free two hours will remain at £1 for each hour or part thereof for those parking places listed in Schedule One. The charge for stays beyond the free two hours will remain at £2 per day at East Street Parking Place.

2. Any person leaving a vehicle in the Feethams Multi-Storey Parking Place will receive the first two hours of parking free of charge. No person shall cause or permit any vehicle to be left in that parking place if a period of less than 1 hour has elapsed since the termination of the last period of waiting (if any) 8am-6pm Mon-Sat. The charge for stays beyond the free two hours will remain at £1 for each hour or part thereof 8am-6pm Mon-Sat.

3. Any person leaving a vehicle in the on-street parking places listed in Schedule Two will be entitled to do so free of charge for a maximum stay of 2 hours during the charging hours. During the charging hours a ticket must be obtained from the machine and displayed clearly inside the vehicle at the start of the period of parking and must cover the whole of the period of that vehicle's stay in the parking place. No person shall cause or permit any vehicle to be left in the parking place if a period of less than 1 hour has elapsed since the termination during the charging hours of the last period of waiting (if any) of the vehicle in the same parking place. The current charges are detailed in Schedule Two. The charging hours will remain the same. The maximum stay for East Row and Horsemarket increases from 30 minutes to 2 hours. For all other parking places in Schedule Two the maximum stay will remain at 2 hours.
 
4. Any person leaving a vehicle in the on-street parking places listed in Schedule Three will receive the first two hours of parking free of charge. A ticket must be obtained from the machine and displayed clearly inside the vehicle at the start of the period of parking and must cover the whole of the period of that vehicle's stay in the parking place, including the first two free hours and any subsequent period of paid parking. No person shall cause or permit any vehicle to be left in the parking place if a period of less than 1 hour has elapsed since the termination during the charging hours of the last period of waiting (if any) of the vehicle in the same parking place. The charge for stays beyond the free two hours will remain at 50p for each 30 mins or part thereof for those parking places listed in Schedule Three. The maximum stay will remain at 3 hours.
