Parking Consultations
Town Parking Review
Cornwall Council identified seven areas in Cornwall as having the biggest parking problems: Bude, Falmouth and Penryn, Newquay, Penzance, St Ives, Truro and Wadebridge.
During the summer of 2016 we carried out a town parking review in those towns.
As a result of the feedback we have had, during 2018 we consulted on proposals to make changes to parking in these towns including new residents' parking schemes in Penryn, St Ives, Truro and Wadebridge and changes to existing parking restrictions (e.g. yellow lines) in Bude, Falmouth, Newquay and Penzance.
Residents' Parking schemes
Following consultation we have decided not to implement new residents' parking schemes in Penryn or Wadebridge.
In Truro we have decided to introduce six new zones to complement those already in place and in St Ives two new zones will be introduced. We intend for these to become operational from April 2019.
The residents parking scheme consultation reports are available on our residents' parking FAQ page.
Proposed Parking charges
Our consultation about the 2017 off street car park orders (proposed new and revised parking charges) ended on 16 December 2016.
After considering consultation feedback Cornwall Council’s Cabinet decided to freeze parking charges in Cornwall Council run car parks for the second year in a row.
