The City of Lincoln Council has unveiled plans to increase car parking charges throughout the city. This move forms part of a wider strategy to secure additional funding for the upkeep and enhancement of the city’s local leisure centres. The decision has elicited a variety of responses from residents and local businesses, many expressing concern about its potential influence over city centre foot traffic.
The council, however, maintains that the rise in charges is vital to uphold the high standards of the city’s leisure facilities. These amenities play a pivotal role in promoting the health and wellbeing of the local community. The new parking charges are set to come into effect from the start of the following month, with the council committing to assess the results over the next year.
