We asked for your feedback on the proposal to change the parking to:

• 3P, 8 am to 6 pm Monday to Friday/ 8am to 1 pm Saturday’ for the different 2P restrictions in the car park

What we heard

We received a good response from traders and owners within the Ashburton Shopping Centre. Of the responses we received

• 96% supported and 4% opposed the parking restriction change in the Highgate Grove car park.

What happens next

In accordance with the Council’s Parking Management Policy 2017 and Parking Management Procedures 2017, 55% support is necessary before we will implement any proposed parking change.

With majority support received (96%) we will now arrange for the 2-hour signs in the Highgate Grove car park to apply for 3-hours from 8 am to 6 pm Monday to Friday / 8am to 1 pm Saturday.

The changes will occur early in January 2025.
