Stop the increase of residents parking permits in Southampton.
The increase in residents’ parking permit charges in Southampton is causing financial pressure on local households. I want the Government to require local authorities to stop these rises, reduce current costs, and make residents’ permits free where possible.
The proposed increases to parking permits in Southampton raise costs sharply for residents, from £30 to £45 for a standard permit and from £6 to £12 for visitor scratch cards. This comes at a time when many households are struggling with rising living expenses. These changes risk making essential parking unaffordable. Lower or free permits would reduce financial pressure and support local residents.
