Public will be able to have their say on Lancaster city centre parking

The strategy aims to provide reassurance to both businesses and community stakeholders that the council can provide sufficient parking spaces whilst maintaining its commitment to climate action and delivering other priorities such as new homes for local people.

Through its declared Climate Emergency, the council also recognises the need to support the transitioning to an accessible and inclusive low-carbon and active transport system, promoting cycling, walking and increased use of public transport.

The strategy aims to strike a balance in future provision so that:

*car parks are in the right place, reducing need for vehicle circulation through and around the city centre

*sufficient parking options are available to service the needs of the evening and cultural economy

*the offer is of a good quality, safe and attractive to customers

*blue badge holders and those with greater accessibility needs are provided for
