Your Voice Matters… consultation launched on Corby station parking costs
Parking11 October 2024
Following a pre-consultation exercise which North Northamptonshire Council ran in Summer 2024, a consultation has been launched on proposed changes to car parking costs at Corby station.
The proposals are to bring the parking fees in line with other stations in the local area and residents have until 3 November 2024 to have their say.
The pre-consultation received 90 responses which expressed the need for an off-peak tariff and options for parking charges, alongside the need for additional parking spaces.
The revised proposals include an off-peak rate and proposes to increase the number of parking spaces, as well as making a section of the entrance/exit one way.
Once the consultation has closed, all responses will be reviewed by North Northamptonshire Council and any changes would be introduced from Monday 2 December 2024.
Following our pre-consultation earlier in the year, we have taken on board the feedback received and the proposals now include off-peak rates as well as changes to the number of car parking spaces.Cllr Matt Binley, the council’s Executive Member for Highways, Travel and Assets
The proposals would bring Corby station in line with the lowest priced station parking charges in the area and residents should be assured that we have considered all options very carefully before going out to consultation on proposed rises.
It is important that people have their say on issues that impact them and we know that a lot of people use Corby station daily - often travelling in by car. With this in mind, we want to hear from residents, businesses and visitors about the proposed changes and I would urge people to have their say before 3 November.Jason Smithers, Leader of the Council
