The cost of parking is to rise across Tameside as leaders say they want more short term shoppers and not workers hogging town centre spots ‘without spending a penny in the town centre’.
Members of the executive cabinet have agreed to increase car parking tariffs in the borough as part of an effort to provide a ‘shoppers charter’ and encourage a turnover of spaces.
The aim is to get workers to park in ‘long stay’ designated car parks, while people coming to shop or visit attractions in town centres would make use of central ‘short stay’ car parks.
