Car parking changes across Amber Valley

Published on Friday 26 January 2018

A range of improvements to Amber Valley Borough Council’s car parking was agreed by the Full Council when it met recently in Ripley.

These include a range of measures to support local residents and businesses and to attract more shoppers into the town centres:


The changes to the Council’s Car Parking Strategy were the result of consultation carried out last year in which residents and businesses had their say on improvements they would like to see made. Feedback was generally positive but some residents said they did not use the car parks because of the charges.

The Council acknowledged that it would be desirable to be able to provide free car parking throughout Amber Valley, but that there were significant costs associated with providing the car parks, and, therefore free parking could have a negative effect on the provision of other council services.

The main car parking changes, include:


Therefore, during 2018/19, it is proposed to undertake a review of the car parks, particularly with respect to the provision of lighting, to see where improvements can be implemented.

All residents of Amber Valley will continue to be sent one Residents’ Free Parking Permit which allows them free parking from 4pm until 8am the following morning (10am in Heanor).

Commenting on the new Car Parking Strategy, Regeneration Portfolio Holder, Cllr Trevor Ainsworth, said: “We would like to thank all residents and business owners who took part in the consultation, as their feedback has really helped shape the changes. The Council has already invested significant sums on improving the condition of the car parks and we believe the latest changes will encourage more people to use them, and this in turn will help improve business for local traders.”
