Craven car park prices to increase once again

Parking tariffs could increase by 10% across the county.

For a second year in a row, car park prices in the Craven area are set to increase.

North Yorkshire Council officers have advised an increase for on and off-street parking by 10% across the county.

The price increase could bring in almost £2m in extra income.

Parking permits could also rise by the same percentage.

The increase is said to be necessary to help pay for improvements to parking infrastructure and replacing 430 parking machines across the county.

£400,000 could be spent on renewing lighting in car parks, and another £400,000 on replacing old borough and district council signage with new North Yorkshire Council branded signs.

The proposed increase follows a 20% rise for parking tickets and permits last year.

Officers have forecast that a 10% increase in on and off-street parking fees could bring in an extra £1.95m in 2025/26, pushing the total income from parking to more than £21m.
