Car Park Prices Settled

Ongoing issues with car park prices in the Runnymede area, have been settled and a new date proposed for the charges to come in.

There is to be a decline in the hourly rate of the borough's car parks, however there will be an increase in both season and all day tickets.

Currently an all day car parking ticket costs £3.50 and is to increase to £4.00, similarly the current price for a season ticket is to increased by £100, so the new price will be £500 per annum.

Mervyn Robins, parking services manager, said: "For car parks in Pooley Green, Egham, Gogmore Farm, Chertsey, Victoria Steet and St. Judes Road, Englefield Green, there is to be a reduced tariff introduced to reflect the lesser usage of these facilites together with their location."

The new prices will be 1 hour - 20p, 1-2 hours - 50p, 2-3 hours - £1.00, 3-4 hours - £1.50, 4-5 hours - £2.00.

The start date for the new prices is aimed to go into effect from January 11, 2009.
