  1. Short lesson from a long story.

    Never, ever use a debit card in the NCP car park app - always use a credit card.

    The app may arbitrarily decide your debit card has insufficient funds and then NCP will chase you for the payment even though you paid and have a receipt!

    I have sorted it out, and they begrudgingly admit it's an issue.

  2. #Monterey City Council also approved an amendment to the city’s #Downtown Specific Plan that, even a few years ago, would have been unthinkable: eliminating all residential #parking requirements for #housing in the plan’s area, which stretches from Van Buren Street to Camino El Estero. The purpose of the amendment, [City Manager Hans Uslar] says, is because 'every on-site parking spot increases the cost of housing.’”—David Schmalz, #MontereyCountyNow montereycountynow.com/blogs/op

  3. "How parking can help deliver the transport system we want for the future"

    My colleague Andrew Potter reports on some highlights of the Transport Planning Society's recent policy statement "Just the Ticket".

    Read Andrew's piece in this month's Parking News magazine:

  4. 'Parking isn’t as important for restaurants as the owners think it is'

    theconversation.com/parking-is

    'Customers who travel by car also bring in less revenue than the restaurateurs think. Based on our sample, customers who drove provided less than 20% of revenue for the restaurants they were frequenting.'

  5. "#CarParking in housing developments should be 'wholly eliminated' where there's good access to urban services & #PublicTransport.
    To meet #climate & #sustainability targets, draft guidelines from Department of Housing will reduce car parking spaces “at all” urban locations.
    The graduated approach would see parking spaces at new homes #minimised, substantially #reduced, or “wholly #eliminated” in major #cities."

  6. New rule:
    Car parking must be maintained from direct user fees on the pared cars.
    No free parking allowed (in cities & suburbs).
    Yes, including at office parks and strip malls. Pay by the hour, from minute 1.
    The intake from the parking must cover the cost of constructing the car park, and for the maintenance etc.

  9. I have been walking around several small but otherwise pretty Scottish towns that could learn from this...

    Interesting, but what about policies to support such actions?
    This would often inlude removing #incentives going the wring way?
    Impossibly #CheapFlights for one. And (indirect) #subsidies for #carparking and #meat. #Repairs being taxed as heavily as new items etc.
    I am sure there are #InverseIncentives going on which exacerbate #foodwaste also.

  11. Potential FoI request for early next year, I think.

    With the local council saying there's no free parking this year, doesn't this serve as an ideal opportunity to evaluate the impact of such schemes? I wonder if they have data on the number of people use car parks last year (free parking) which can be compared to usage this year (charged parking).

    If data exists, we could compare town centre footfall overall as well.

  12. Good to see some sense from #NBBCouncil - no free #CarParking in #Nuneaton and #Bedworth this year!

    I never understand why free parking is generally such a thing over the Christmas period. With all the shopping, what's an extra few pounds to park the car? Why should there be yet another driving subsidy? (I can see the conundrum when neighbouring towns ARE offering it though).

    Of course, you can guess how the FB comments are all going on this! Must. Not. Antagonise! 😂
