Motorists will face changes to parking charges to use council-run sites in Lichfield later this month.

Lichfield District Council is amending fees at short stay and long term car parks in a bid to encourage drivers to use the most appropriate sites.

The changes to fees will see the introduction of a free 30 minute period for motorists using short stay sites.

Other amendments will see a full day in short stay car parks rise from £8 to £20 in a bid to get those spending longer in spaces using the long stay facilities where a full day will drop from £4.30 to £4.

There will also be the introduction of a charge for parking on Bank Holidays, while evening and Sunday prices will also rise.

The new fees, which will be introduced from 10th January, for short stay parking are:

| **Time**               | **Current price** | **New price** |
| ---------------------- | ----------------- | ------------- |
| Up to 30 minutes       | £1                | Free          |
| 30 minutes to one hour | £1                | £1            |
| Two hours              | £2                | £3.50         |
| Three hours            | £3                | £5            |
| Four hours             | £4                | £8            |
| All day                | £8                | £20           |
| Evening                | Free              | £1.50         |
| Sunday                 | £1                | £2            |
| Bank Holidays          | Free              | £2            |

Long stay car parks will see the following changes:

| **Time**     | **Current price** | **New price** |
| ------------ | ----------------- | ------------- |
| Four hours   | £2.10             | £1.50         |
| Six hours    | £3.20             | £2.50         |
| All day      | £4.30             | £4            |
| Evening      | Free              | £1            |
| Sunday       | £1                | £2            |
| Bank Holiday | Free              | £2            |

Cllr Janice Silvester-Hall, cabinet member for high streets and the visitor economy, said:

> “We are introducing revised parking charges to benefit all motorists by encouraging them to use the car park most appropriate for the duration of their stay.  
>  
> “This is just one of the measures we have developed to make parking easier and more convenient. Others include the provision of additional car parking spaces seven days a week at District Council House in Frog Lane and weekend parking in the temporary car park on the former garage site on Birmingham Road.”  
>  
> Cllr Janice Silvester-Hall, Lichfield District Council

Other changes from 10th January will include Sandford Street car park becoming a short stay facility.

Blue badge holders will continue to be able to park in any space at a council-run car park for free.
