About this consultation

From 21 November to 10 December 2024, we consulted traders in the Ashburton Shopping Centre on changing the 2P parking spaces to 3P in the Marquis Street (east side) car park. The changes enable longer parking for customers of the Ashburton Shopping Centre.

What we asked

We asked for your feedback on the proposal to change the parking in the Marquis Street (east side) car park to:

• 3P, 8 am to 6 pm Monday to Friday/ 8am to 12.30 pm Saturday’ parking restrictions (from 2P across the same times)

What we heard

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

Of the responses we received:

• 97% supported and 3% opposed the parking restriction change in the Marquis Street (east side) 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 (97%) we will now arrange for the 2-hour signs in the Marquis Street car park (east side) to apply for 3-hours from 8 am to 6 pm Monday to Friday / 8am to 12.30 pm Saturday.

The changes will occur early in January 2025.
