Car parks - why can't we have pay-on-foot or pay-on-exit car parks in East Herts?IntroductionAll East Herts Council car parks are pay-and-display car parks. View Car Parks to find out where they are. Motorists find a space and park, then purchase a ticket which should be displayed on the inside of the windscreen. Short-stay car parks offer one to five-hour tickets and long-stay are for all-day parkers, such as town centre workers. East Herts Council carried out a comprehensive investigation into the feasibility of pay-on-exit or pay-on-foot in 2006. Pay-on-exit car parks are barrier-operated where you pay when you leave the car park. Pay-on-foot requires the motorist to pay at a pay station before getting back into their vehicle. The report was presented to East Herts Council's Executive on 4 September 2007 which agreed that the district's existing car parks were not designed for pay-on-exit systems and that pay-on-foot would be too costly to implement because the costs would need to be passed onto the user. This could see car park prices rise steeply. |
