Consultation opens: 4 December 2023

Consultation closes: 1 January 2024

This consultation is about proposed changes to parking charges which apply to both on-street and off-street parking across the Royal Borough. We are proposing to implement these changes from February 2024, and are asking the public to review and provide feedback on the proposals.

Cabinet has agreed to implement increases to fees and charges at an earlier point this year, in order to address the council’s urgent financial challenges. As part of this process Cabinet members considered a range of options to include extended charging periods and the level of increases, before settling on the proposed charges as outlined below. In coming to these proposed changes the council has acted to balance the need to generate income, with wider priorities for the borough. This includes promoting ease of access to our town centres to support local businesses, and to ensure that residents are able to park at affordable rates in local car parks.

On-street parking fees and charges are used to pay for investment in the borough’s highways, rights of way and public transport, and to ensure road safety. Off- street parking income covers the costs of maintaining and investing in the borough’s car parks, as well as making an important contribution to providing essential services.

The key proposals are presented below, and tables of all proposed changes to off street and on street parking are shown in the attached documents.

Key proposals:

To freeze parking charges in the two main town centre multi-storey car parks operated by the council (Hines Meadow in Maidenhead and Victoria Street in Windsor) for the first three hours. This supplements the existing one-hour free residents’ parking offer at these car parks and selected council-operated car parks across the borough. The one hour free for residents will remain in place.

The council is consulting on two different pricing options for on-street parking in residential controlled parking zones (CPZs). Proposed charges for resident parking permits are set out in Options A and B below. In both cases the charge for a first permit, is lower than for additional permits. This is to make sure that charges are kept lower for single car households.

This consultation will close on 1st January 2024.
