A CONSULTATION on parking in Wiltshire is due to finish on January 19.

The outcome could see a move away from the current charging for parking based on bands, to options based on individual car parks or town assessments.

These options will use factors such as usage of car parks and location, as well as looking at the wider economic and environmental issues.

The review will also consider a number of charging options, including first hour free parking, free after 4pm, Sunday charges, or evening charges.

So far more than 4,100 responses have been submitted by the public but the deadline of 5pm on January 19 is fast approaching.

John Thomson, deputy leader and cabinet member responsible for sustainable transport, said: "We are delighted with the response so far. It is encouraging that so many people have taken part in the consultation.

"No decisions on the future of car parking in Wiltshire will be made until all of the results of the consultation are in and analysed, which is why it is vitally important that we get as much feedback as possible from residents, local business and organisations.
