Drivers will soon have to pay more to park their cars at three huge parks in Bristol under new proposals. Fees are expected to increase at Oldbury Court, Blaise Estate and Ashton Court, prompting concerns about drivers choosing to park on nearby residential streets.
Parking fees were only introduced at these car parks recently, and Bristol City Council bosses say fewer drivers have been using them since. The extra cash raised from charging drivers more will be invested back into maintaining Bristol’s parks.
Fees were introduced at Oldbury Court and Blaise Estate in March last year. The increase in fees at these two parks is expected to be approved by the cabinet on Tuesday, April 4. Ashton Court is run by North Somerset Council, but a fee hike is expected there soon too.
