Car Parks Pricing Focus Groups
This report summarises the findings of three discussion groups convened to consider Council proposals for a new car parks pricing strategy (2010-2012).
The groups aimed to enable a small number of residents to have an informed discussion about car parking charges in the Borough, and to reach a conclusion as to their preferred options for an increase and changed tariff structure. In addition, participants provided their thoughts on the quality of car parks in Poole, in order to assist with future service development.
A total of 30 people took part in the groups, which were held in August 2009. These included resident permit holders, small trader permit holders and season ticket holders, as well as local residents who use car parks, chosen randomly from Poole Opinion Panel.
The results of this consultation influenced the report of the Head of Transportation Services 
to Transportation Advisory Group on 26th November 2009.
