I live just outside the proposed charging area. How can motorists be prevented from leaving their cars outside my house and then taking the bus into town?
A – City centre charging area entry points will generally, be inside the controlled parking area, particularly if it is extended as planned, to ensure that resident’s parking has priority. For the outer charging area, entry points will be either at the City Bypass or close to the outskirts of the city. Care will be taken to deter motorists from parking in areas immediately outside any area boundary and then either travelling by bus or walking into the city centre. Those motorists who do want to park-and-ride will be able to use the formal park-and-ride schemes which will have been established and paid for by the congestion charging money.
