flag A proposed 20% rise in Wiltshire parking fees, aimed at addressing a £175,000 annual revenue shortfall from four years without increases amid 28% inflation, has sparked debate. flag The Wiltshire Environment Select Committee reviewed the Parking Plan 2026-30 on January 15, with officials citing the need to fund public transport and highway services. flag Concerns were raised over extending paid parking to 7am–7pm, potential impacts on the nighttime economy and Sunday worshippers, and unclear demand for Blue Badge holder parking. flag While dynamic pricing was suggested, officials said current technology does not support it. flag The plan will be reviewed by the council before public consultation.
