answer text <p>The department does not centrally collect data on high parking charges. Local authorities are responsible for setting local parking charges taking account of local circumstances.</p><p>We want local authorities to adopt policies that support local town centres, and have recently consulted on &quot;Strengthening Local Government Transparency&quot;. The consultation included a proposal to increase the amount of information local authorities would need to publish on parking thereby helping local communities to better understand what revenues were being raised from parking.</p><p>The intention of this proposed change would be to encourage a better local dialogue between communities and the local authorities that represent them about what appropriate parking charge levels should be.</p><p>We are currently analysing responses to the consultation and will publish our response in due course.</p> more like this
