New parking charges for Bath and Keynsham

10th August 2018 by Timsbury Parish Council

Changes for parking in Bath and North East Somerset Council car parks are set to come into effect from August 13.

The changes are being made in as part of a package of measures reduce air pollution and encourage more people to use Bath’s Park & Rides or other public transport.

The main changes include:

  • A new flat hourly rate of £1.60 across all the council’s off-street car parks in Bath, including Charlotte Street, Manvers Street and Avon Street, capped at a maximum charge of £15 a day.
  • All residents of Bath & North East Somerset will be eligible for a discount of 10% on both on-street and off-street parking charges in Bath providing they register their details with MiPermit via: wanttopark.com/bathnes.
  • The discounted evening rate from 6pm at Charlotte Street car park will remain in place, as will the hour’s free parking at Royal Victoria Park.
  • Free on-street parking will continue on Sundays.

In Keynsham the cost of parking for up to three hours will be frozen, with slight increases in the cost of long-stay parking.  The four-hour charge in Keynsham is now 90p; the eight-hour charge £1.60; and the all-day charge £2.10.

The standard on-street parking charge in Bath, before a residents’ discount, for band 1 would be £2.50 for the first hour, then an extra £1 for each hour thereafter.  The charge in band 2 spaces would be £3.40 for the first hour, then an extra £1.10 for each hour thereafter. The charge in the band 3 spaces would be £3.80 for the first hour, then an extra £1.60 for each hour thereafter.  Most on-street parking is limited to a maximum of two hours, though in some locations it is up to four hours and drivers should always check the machine in the location to be sure what fees apply.
