STIRLING CITY CENTRE PARKING REVIEW 2009 / 2010

1 SUMMARY

1.1 In February 2009, Council requested that a review of the current parkingarrangements in Stirling City Centre should be undertaken.

1.2 A Review Group, consisting of Elected Members and Officers from Roadsand Transport, was established to review the current parking arrangementswithin the City centre; establish key objectives and identify recommendationsfor possible improvements.

1.3 The Review Group considered the current parking arrangements in the City;analysed parking trends; considered current issues and pressures; and

deliberated over the complexities of balancing parking demands from allusers with car parking space availability and use.

1.4 The review also considered the role that parking management has to play indelivery of the Council’s Single Outcome Agreement and TransportStrategies, particularly in relation to supporting economic vitality, whilstaddressing sustainability, accessibility and transport issues.

1.5 The Review Group formulated and focussed on four key objectives to improveparking within Stirling, and subsequently agreed a series of recommendationsto deliver these objectives, as detailed in section 2 of this report. The Groupmet four times, with the discussions minuted and circulated to all members of

the Group.

1.6 This paper sets out on the outcome of the review; seeks approval in principlefor the implementation of the recommendations made; and instructs theRoads, Transport &.Open Space Service to commence the necessary publicconsultation process.

2.5 To receive an annual parking report in early Summer of each calendar year,providing an update on the operation of the parking function andimplementation of the Council’s parking strategy achieved within the previousfinancial year.

3 CONSIDERATIONS

Background

3.1 The provision of parking is an essential element to planning and managingaccess to the City centre. As all journeys begin and end in a parking space,the management of demands is a difficult balance of providing parking for allusers, with the need to minimise the impact of traffic and parking on the City.

3.2 Stirling Council’s Parking Strategy, approved in 2005, set out a framework todevelop a parking plan for each settlement within the Council area to addressparking difficulties consistently across the area, but recognising that eachsettlement will have its own local issues and solutions.

3.3 In relation to Stirling City, the strategy recognised that an establishedControlled Parking Zone (CPZ) had been in operation for several years, sincethe late 1980’s. During this period, the CPZ has been expanded andamended several times to meet the changing demands and manage theprovision of pay and display parking, residents parking and disabled parkingin an effective manner.

3.4 With a limited road space within the core of Stirling’s City Centre, the

allocation of parking presents conflicts between the many other demands.Achieving a balanced provision between short, medium and long-termparking; parking for residents and disabled persons parking, is further compounded by the need to provide essential access for loading, bus stopsand taxi ranks.

3.5 The 2005 Strategy identified actions to be considered for the futuremanagement of parking in the City centre, including:-

- Rationalising of parking to support alternative forms of transport, and Citycentre streetscape improvements.

-

Provide Park and Ride services from East and West of Stirling.

- Provide Park and Walk from Forthside.

- Expand the CPZ to include King’s Park, Cowane Street, Riverside,Livilands, Linden Avenue, and all streets within the Inner City Ring Route.

- Review the charging regime and the relationships between short and longstay periphery parking, including the Park and Ride services at Castleviewand Springkerse.

- Review residents parking.




Current Parking Arrangements

3.6 The Council currently manages a total of 1,551 on-street, and 2,058 off-street(car park) parking spaces within the City centre. The following table providesa breakdown of this provision:-

On-street parking Off-street parking

Spaces by type No of spaces

Car park No of spaces

Pay and Display 981 Goosecroft Road 135

Residents’ Parking 512 Dalgleish Court 48

Disabled Parking 45 Wellgreen 36

Doctors’ Parking 7 Burghmuir 176

Motorcycle 6 Linden Avenue 183

Wellgreen Multi-storey 530

Forthside 600

Viewforth (Saturday only) 350

Total 1,551 Total 2,058

3.7 The charges and length of stay permitted for public parking, varies across theCity depending on the location and proximity to the City centre. The allocationof parking within any specific street depends on the available road space; theimpact of parking and traffic flow within the area, and the level of demands for different types of parking, e.g pay and display, residents and disabledparking. Appendix 1 illustrates the existing controlled parking zone, andpublic car parks.

3.8 This approach to managing lengths of stay is effective in achieving abalanced parking provision, whilst limiting the adverse impact of parked carson the City. The short stay parking is mostly restricted to the core City centrewhere available space is at a premium, and helps ensure a turnover of spaces, ensuring vital access to retail and services is maintained. Longer periods of stay are then permitted on the middle and periphery areas, wherecapacity is greater, and the adverse effects of parking on the surrounding

area is less significant.

3.9 Parking charges also operate on a radial pattern, but in reverse to the lengthof stay. Parking in the core area where space is at a premium with shorter maximum stay periods, demands a higher charge than compared with thelower cost, longer stay parking in the outer areas. Current charges range from£1.40 for 20 minutes maximum stay in high demand areas in the centre, toareas of all day parking on the periphery of the City at a cost of £3.20.




3.10 Over the last 3 years, parking charges have been increased to supportCouncil Transport Strategies and encourage the use of more sustainabletransport, such as park and ride and public transport services; walking andcycling; and also to meet an increased parking income target.

3.11 This approach, combined with the current economic climate has led to areduction in the number of pay and display parking tickets sold, with driversopting for free parking on the periphery of the City, or using the park and rideservices. Appendix 2 provides a comparison of ticket sales over financialyears 2006/07, 2007/08 and 2008/09.

3.12 Park and ride is a key element in the management of parking in the City, andan important element of the City Transport Strategy in reducing the impact of traffic on the City area. The popularity of the park and ride services fromSpringkerse and Castleview are continuing to grow; with hassle free parkingat the sites; high quality and frequent services; and good value for moneywhen compared to parking in the City. The Castleview service has recently

been extended to serve Stirling Royal Infirmary, and is to be extended further to serve the Castle Business Park to meet public demands. Appendix 3illustrates the growth in park and ride customer numbers since the servicesbegan.

3.13 The Council operates a residents parking permit system within Stirling andDunblane City centres. Permits can be issued to citizens who permanentlyreside (minimum period of 6 months) within the controlled parking zone, solong as their vehicle(s) is registered to their permanent address. Each streethas its own unique zone number, and a permit can only be issued for thezone in which the resident’s address is located. The permit, which currentlycosts £60 per year, entitles the holder to park their vehicle in their permitted

zone, either in a dedicated bay marked “residents parking” or within any payand display space within the same zone, without the need to purchase a payand display ticket. There are currently 512 residents permit holders withinStirling City centre area.

3.14 Parking for disabled persons, is provided in two forms in Stirling City centre.The first is dedicated parking for Blue Badge holders. There are 45 of thesespaces within the CPZ. These spaces are located mainly in the core centreareas, in close proximity to the main shopping areas.

3.15 The second provision entitles Blue Badge holders to park in any pay anddisplay space, either on-street or in Council operated car parks (excluding

Wellgreen Multi-storey), without the need to pay, or comply with the waitingperiods indicated, so long as a valid Blue Badge is displayed. All of theCouncil’s disabled parking spaces are supported with a Traffic RegulationOrder, enabling enforcement action to be taken against any abuse of thespaces by drivers who are not blue badge holders.

3.16 In addition to the Council’s current requirements, the recent introduction of theDisabled Persons' Parking Places (Scotland) Act 2009, which came into effecton 1 October 2009, places a duty on Local Authorities to “promote proper useof parking places for disabled persons’ vehicles”, regardless of public or private ownership. This places additional burdens on current staff resourcesto discharge the Council’s duties on private car parks, eg supermarkets,

health centres etc. The Roads, Transport & Open Space Service is preparing




a paper for Council detailing the implications and requirements of the Act, tobe presented in the near future.

3.17 The Forthside car park opened in January 2008, to coincide with the openingof the new VUE cinema. The car park is currently operating as a free car park, following a decision by Council in December 2008 to suspend theparking charges. It is expected that this car park will remain free until the endof the current financial year. It is anticipated that this will result in a loss of income in the region of £23,000.

3.18 Linden Avenue car park is currently operating as a free car park, following adecision by Council in June 2009 to suspend the charges pending the reviewof City centre parking. It is anticipated that this car park will remain free untilthe end of the current financial year. It is anticipated that this will result in aloss of income in the region of £80,000 during this financial year. (£33,000from direct loss of ticket sales and £47,000 loss due to displacement fromother parking areas)

3.19 In line with the Council’s area-wide Parking Strategy, the Service is currentlyprogressing the extension of the CPZ in the City Centre, into Irvine Place,Upper Bridge Street, and Colquhoun Street.

3.20 The traffic orders for parking controls for Irvine Place and Upper Bridge Streetare currently being promoted and advertised.

3.21 A petition was received to similar controls in Colquhoun Street. Followingconsideration of this petition, Council requested that this proposal be put onhold pending the parking review.

Considerations and Recommendations of the Review

Parking Charges and Length of Stay

3.22 The review identified that the current parking charges and length of stayregime was effective in encouraging longer stay parking on the periphery, andproviding short stay parking in the centre. However, the number of differentcharges and varying lengths of stay was difficult to understand, and may beconfusing to users and visitors.

3.23 It was also noted that whilst the areas limited to 20 minutes maximum waitingwere heavily used, it was questionable whether the parking period was

sufficient for the public to access local services and carry out their business. Itis suggested, that subject to the consultation process, the 20 minutesmaximum waiting areas should be increased to 30 minutes. This would alsosimplify the waiting periods across the City.

3.24 Concerns were raised regarding the current arrangements in the intermediateparking zones, where parking is generally limited to 2 hours (e.g. SpittalStreet, St. John’s Street, Baker Street, Melville Terrace). Whilst the use of thisarea is moderate, concerns from some businesses would suggest that this 2hour waiting period is insufficient to enable visitors to access shops andbusinesses from these parking areas. Again, subject to consultation, it issuggested that the intermediate areas be increased to 4 hours maximum

stay, but retain the option to purchase a 2 hour ticket.




3.25 It is recommended that a revised regime, based on a radial model of ZonedAreas, would simplify and improve the parking controls. This simplification of lengths of stay and charges within these zones, would encourage greater useand improve public understanding of the controls, where they can park, for how long and at what cost.

3.26 The improvements would also enable “Parking in Stirling” information to bepublished in the form of leaflets; maps and web-based formats. Appendix 4provides a map illustrating the proposed zones, and Appendix 5 provides acomparison between current and proposed waiting periods within each zone.

3.27 On analysis of the parking charges, the Review Group agreed that in themain, the current charging model is appropriate. That is, that chargesincrease as the length of stay increase, and that a premium should becharged for parking in the core City centre. However, the Group felt that thereshould be, as far as practicable, a standard charge for each period of waitingwithin the respective zones. It was noted that the standardisation of charges

within the zone model, would result in a reduction of some of the chargesacross the City.

3.28 It was also considered that in order to support and promote the radial parkingmodel, that the most peripheral car parks (Linden Avenue and Forthside car parks), should be promoted as “park and walk” sites, with a lower charge thanon-street parking to encourage their use and reflect their distance from thecore centre. It is proposed that a flat rate of £1 be applied to both these car parks.

3.29 The Group accepted that the areas in the immediate vicinity of Stirling RoyalInfirmary (SRI) and King’s Park should be subject to a lower parking charge

than that in the rest of the City centre, recognising the need for access toessential services at SRI, and access to leisure and recreation at King’s Park.It is recommended that the parking charges should remain at current levelswithin these streets. Appendix 5 provides a comparison between current andproposed charges in each zone.

Residents Parking

3.30 It was considered that the flexibility offered by the current system, whereprovision was delivered through a mixture of dedicated spaces and theentitlement to use pay and display spaces, was generally effective in makingthe best use of the limited road space available, by trying to meet the

demands, without restricting more road space than was necessary.

3.31 However, it was noted that in some of the earliest zones created, particularlythe top of the town area, there was an under provision of spaces whichpresented difficulty for some residents. It was also noted that some zonesexperienced an over provision. It was recognised that these pressures weredue to changes in car ownership since the zones were originally introduced.

3.32 It is proposed that where pressures are identified, a review of that zone, andthe zones immediately adjacent be undertaken with a view to merging or redefining the zones to improve the balance of provision.




3.33 It was also considered, that merging zones, where practicable, may simplifythe management arrangements. Appendix 6 illustrates the zones currentlyidentified where there is either an under or over provision of reservedresidents parking spaces.

3.34 It was noted that the cost of a permit of £60 per year in Stirling wassignificantly lower than other Councils across Scotland.

3.35 Consideration was also given to making the dedicated residents parking baysapplicable 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Due to enforcement difficulties inthe evenings and on Sundays, it was felt to be impractical at this stage, andthe current 8.45am to 5.30pm, Monday to Saturday period should continue.However, this will be explored further with Central Scotland Police as part of the consultation process. 24 hour restrictions are being investigated as part of the considerations for Decriminalised Parking across the Council area.

3.36 It was also noted that, for some future residential development sites in theCity centre, it may not be possible to provide residential parking on the site,and the extra demand this may create for on street residents parking in thevicinity of such a site would be unsustainable, and difficult to achieve. It ispossible these developments could potentially be designated as “car freedevelopments”.

3.37 It is proposed that further discussion with the Planning Service is undertaken,with a view to developing a policy for “Car Free Developments”, and thenmake the necessary amendments to the current policy for resident permits toexclude car free developments from being eligible for a permit.

Disabled Parking

3.38 The current provision of dedicated disabled parking spaces for Blue Badgeholders, and the entitlement to park in any pay and display space without theneed to pay or adhere to the maximum period, provides the best balance of provision possible, whilst recognising the pressures on the limited road spaceavailable.

3.39 However, it is proposed that the position of the existing dedicated parkingspaces be reviewed to ensure their locations are still appropriate to providesuitable access to shopping and other services.

3.40 Consideration was also given to making the dedicated disabled parking baysapplicable 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Due to enforcement difficulties inthe evenings and on Sundays, it was felt to be impractical at this stage, andthe current 8.45am to 5.30pm, Monday to Saturday period should continue.However, this will be explored further with Central Scotland Police as part of the consultation process. 24 hour restrictions are being investigated as part of the considerations for Decriminalised Parking across the Council area.




Accessibility to Parking by the Public and Businesses

3.41 The review highlighted, that regardless of the charges or restriction on thelength of stay, improvements were required to make access to parking easier for the public and businesses.

3.42 The suggested “zoned” charging regime will make the arrangements clearer and easier for the public to understand, and enable information to be madeavailable in the form of leaflets, maps and on the web.

3.43 It is proposed that a season ticket system be implemented. This systemwould apply in the outer on-street parking areas and periphery car parks only(Zones 3 & 4, and Linden Avenue, Burghmuir and Forthside Car Parks).Season tickets would be available to be purchased on a weekly, monthly or quarterly basis.

3.44 The weekly ticket would be purchased direct from the ticket machine, with themonthly and quarterly tickets being purchased from Viewforth or the BusStation.

3.45 Whilst an individual space could not be reserved under this system, thecapacity available in the outer zones would ensure season ticket holderscould get parked.

3.46 It is also proposed, that the current season ticket system operated inWellgreen Multi-storey car park be reviewed, to provide the same weekly,monthly and quarterly tickets, but also give consideration to an annual permit,where access to individual parking spaces is more controllable. This requiresto be discussed with NCP, who manage Wellgreen multi-storey car park on

behalf of the Council.

3.47 For all season tickets, an appropriate discount would apply in line with similar discounts for other season tickets operated by the Council.

3.48 The costs of implementing the proposals of the review, estimated at £30,000,will be funded from the 2009/10 City Transport Strategy capital budget.

Suggested programme of Implementation

3.49 Subject to approval by Council, it is anticipated that the recommendations of the review could be implemented in early Summer 2010. Appendix 7

illustrates the outline programme of implementation.

3.50 A three month consultation period during November 2009 to January 2010would be undertaken by the Roads, Transport & Open Space Service. Thiswould include; residents and businesses within the controlled parking zone;Community Councils; Elected Members; disability groups; the BusinessForum and statutory consultees, such as Central Scotland Police.

3.51 It is anticipated that the three months from February to April 2010, would berequired to determine any objections to the proposed charges; promote therequired Traffic Regulation Orders and make the physical alteration to signs,markings and ticket machines.




3.52 A public awareness campaign would be undertaken during May 2010, inadvance of the new arrangements coming into effect in early Summer 2010.

Policy Implications

Diversity:

4.1 In reviewing the parking provision in the City Centre, this paper supports theprovision of parking spaces, in accessible locations, for people with mobilitydifficulties.

Sustainability:

4.2 The management of city centre parking is a key element of the City TransportStrategy, which encourages a modal shift to walking, cycling & publictransport to support sustainable objectives.

Corporate/Service Plan:

4.3 This paper supports the Single Outcome Agreement by:-

- Supporting the vitality of Stirling, complements Strategic Topic 1 (Making

Stirling a Place with a vibrant economy that is open for business).

- Managing traffic, which in turn can contribute to a sustainable reduction inlocal carbon emissions, supports Strategic Theme C (Making Stirling moresustainable).

Existing Policy or Strategy:

4.4 This paper supports the objectives of the Council’s City Transport Strategyand Council-Wide Parking Strategy.




Risk:

4.5 Not reviewing the management of parking within the City centre to ensure abalanced of economic, social and environmental considerations, mayundermine the ability of the City Transport Strategy to support the Council’swider strategic objectives.

Resource Implications

4.6 Financial: The implementation of the revised lengths of stay and chargingregime will result in an estimated loss of income of £70,000 per annum,based on ticket sales remaining at current levels. However, it is anticipatedthat this loss of income with be offset by the reduction and simplification of charges that will increase the number of tickets sold, particularly in theperiphery car parks. It is not possible to accurately predict the percentageincrease in the sales resulting from the proposed changes.

4.7 The costs of implementing the proposals of the review, estimated at £30,000,will be funded from the 2009/10 City Transport Strategy capital budget.

4.8 Resources: The implementation of the recommendations will be delivered bythe existing resources within the Roads Improvement Team. However, toachieve this, some delivery elements of the Council-wide Parking Strategy willbe delayed by approximately six months as a consequence. Most notably, thereview of parking arrangements in Bridge of Allan and Callander ParkingStrategies will be delayed until after April 2010.

Consultations

4.9 In addition to the work of the review to date, internal consultations have beenheld with Finance Services.

4.10 Briefings for the Elected Members were held on 10 September 2009 and 5October 2009 to inform them on the progress of the review and therecommended changes that will be subject to public consultation.

4.11 Direct consultation with residents and businesses within the City centre, aswell as Community Councils, the Business Forum and disability groups, willbe undertaken prior to the implementation of the recommendations made inthis paper. Appendix 7 provides an indicative programme of implementation.

4.12 Consultation with the statutory consultees will be undertaken in accordancewith the required process for Traffic Regulation Orders.
