They come into effect on October 31.

The council has confirmed 'small increases' in charges at car parks and on-street parking areas will come into effect on Monday, October 31.

There are seven bands of car parks and on-street parking areas managed by Shropshire Council, with bands 1 to 6 currently being chargeable, and band 7 being free.Richard Marshall, Shropshire Council’s Cabinet member for highways and regulatory services, said:"Due to an increase in the rate of inflation and the cost of managing and maintaining our car parks and on-street parking areas, there will be small increases to some of our parking charges.

"However, to not increase charges at all would mean having to cut other essential services that the council provides." “The current charges were introduced between November 2018 and February 2019. In that time inflation has risen significantly, as have operational costs, but the council is receiving the same level of parking income – and can no longer continue to subsidise the maintenance and operation of car parks from other budgets.
