Council asks for people's opinion on parking

The local authority is looking at all 117 council-operated car parks and on-street parking areas

A council has asked residents to share their opinions on parking in the local area.

Dorset Council has urged people to take part in a survey, which will form part of its review into parking across the county.

The local authority is looking at all 117 council-operated car parks and on-street parking areas, including resident zones, coastal destinations and town centres.

Among the areas it is particularly keen to hear resident's thoughts on are the current pricing structure for parking and any other suggestions for improvements.

Councillor Jon Andrews, Dorset Council's cabinet member for place services, said: "This review is about making sure our parking services are fair, accessible and fit for the future. We want to hear from as many people as possible to help us understand what's working well and where we can do better."

The survey is open until 4 September, and can be completed online via the council website.
