WILTSHIRE Council is asking residents to voice their opinions on the options to review car parking charges in the county.

The consultation is aimed at helping to safeguard public transport and other services.

Bridget Wayman, cabinet member for highways and transport, said: “We don’t want to increase parking charges, however the cost of operating car parks is rising as is the cost of public transport, and without income generated from car parks we could lose many vital bus services.

“We are therefore asking local people and businesses how the extra funding could be found.

"We really are open to any options and welcome comments and ideas.

The consultation, which provides an opportunity for people to feedback their views on the options, can be accessed at consult.wiltshire.gov.uk/portal/ parking_and_transport/car_ parking_charges_consultation and will run until November 23.
