Cleethorpes parking prices to rise for first time in 10 years

It is the first price review in a decade

By Local Democracy Reporter

Residents and visitors to Cleethorpes will be facing parking tariff increases for the first time in over a decade, as a 10 year freeze is finally lifted by the council.

North East Lincolnshire Council has accepted a review of parking charges in Cleethorpes for the first time in a decade, and it will see tariffs rise at a number of car parks.

Changes will be introduced on Monday, June 6, with signage in the car parks in question already updated prior to the changes coming into effect.

The increases are as low as 50p in all but two of the 11 locations, but it is hoped the changes will bring the resort further into line with other seaside locations – which have adopted these rises in parking charges for some time now.

The council has said the move will help meet rising costs, and allow more money to be put back into improving facilities in Cleethorpes.

The Leader of North East Lincolnshire Council, Councillor Philip Jackson, said: “People in North East Lincolnshire have benefitted from lower pricing of parking in certain areas since 2012 when tariffs were last reviewed. Car parking tariffs in Cleethorpes have fallen below the current rate of other resorts such as Scarborough and Skegness for many years.

“The council must also take into account that inflation is currently running at a high level, which has increased operational costs. Please be assured that any money made via parking revenues is reinvested into the borough’s car parks.”
