Harpenden's Parking Review

Harpenden Town Council has been listening to the concerns of local businesses and now new parking arrangements are being trialled with the aim of generating more trade for retailers and other local businesses and providing shoppers with more flexibility when visiting the town.   Free on street parking in the town centre is currently limited to one hour but during the trial period there will be some free parking for two hours while in a small number of areas, near banks and chemists, it will be reduced to 30 minutes to enable parking spots to become available more frequently.   The aim is to help generate more trade for local businesses and provide parking for residents who want to make a quick visit to the town centre.

The new Conservative administration at St. Albans is working with the Town Council on this project with the locations and effectiveness of the different parking areas being reviewed at the end of the six month period.   To have your say, please contact Harpenden Mayor, Michael Weaver at MichaelCWeaver@hotmail.com
