Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on charging all commercial street space uses (such as taxi stands, loading zones, private bus/coach parking and micro-mobility schemes) for parking. We appreciate all of the votes and different opinions discussed.

At poll closure we received 124 votes, 54% said they think we should charge all commercial street space users for parking, and 46% said no.

Among the feedback received on Facebook key themes were:

• Private vehicles cause as much, if not more, congestion in the city

• An efficient bus system will help get cars off the street and reduce congestion

• People want to park easily in the city

• Consider introducing a specific space for rideshare vehicles to stop to pick up customers

• The fees of taxis may raise if they are charged for parking, or the taxi would continue to circle the block or stop in other parking bays causing more congestion and emissions.

Please continue to vote on our quick polls! They are just one of the ways we will be seeking your feedback on how we manage parking. This is the last week before our formal public consultation opens on 16 March.

If you have registered here you will receive an email to tell you when the consultation is open.
