Everything below was read out of a PDF by a model It is useful and it is not authoritative. The document it came from is linked in the rail, and where the two disagree the document is right.

The report proposed changes to 2023/24 parking charges following concerns from residents, businesses and services about the impact of planned tariff increases. The committee was asked to decide whether four parking zones should move to high tariffs or remain at the new low tariffs, while continuing other approved parking-charge changes.

Recommendation

Agree either recommendation 2.1, moving the London Road Station Area (J), Queens Park Area (C), Central Hove (N) and Royal Sussex County Hospital Area (H) to high tariffs, or recommendation 2.2, retaining them at the new 2023/24 low tariffs; also continue implementing the other approved 2023/24 parking fees and charges and note the financial impact of retaining low tariffs.

Financial impact

Retaining the four zones at the new 2023/24 low tariffs would potentially reduce income by £0.400m, increasing the projected parking services overspend from £0.830m to £1.230m. The approved parking changes were estimated to generate £3.150m of additional income for 2023/24.
