<p>The Great British Coast has enormous potential and this Government is determined
to see it thrive all year round. We are committed to supporting coastal communities
to unlock barriers to their development and growth, and to strengthen their appeal
as places to live, work and visit.</p><p>Parking is the responsibility of local authorities
and it is for them to determine what is appropriate in their own area. Central government
has no remit to intervene in local authorities’ day to day affairs. The Government
recognises that councils should be treating motorists fairly and promoting their town
centres through their parking plans.</p><p>In line with the Local Authority Transparency
Code, local authorities should each year publish their costs and profits relating
to their parking management, allowing the public to hold certain overzealous councils
to account.</p>
