Canterbury (charged per car)

“Canterbury City Council's Park & Ride staffing levels are being reduced in January 2010 from 8 Full Time Employees to 6 full time posts to cover our three Park & Ride sites, our Multi-Storey car park and the new Canterbury Coach Park. Whilst this will not be sufficient to cover the whole of our operational timetable it will allow us the flexibility to cover the sites at peak times.

From January we will also stop the Sunday Park & Ride service which is currently operational from our New Dover Road site only.

Since October 2008 Kent Top Travel have supplied the Park & Ride fleet under contract and this is proving successful”  

Canterbury Vehicles Parked

As can be seen above, there has been a 7.54% reduction in the number of vehicles compared to the same period in 2007/08.  The nine month period up to and including September 2009 shows a reduction of 6.81%, and a 10.48% for the same period in 2008.  Therefore there continues to be a reduction in the number of vehicles parking in the display and pay car parks for Park and Ride use in Canterbury, but the reduction is at a lower rate than in the previous year.

As can be seen above, there has been a 1.68% reduction in the number of passengers from October to July compared to the previous year.  The seven month period up to and including July 2009 shows a 0.31% increase in passengers compared to the previous year, but with a 10.3% reduction for the same period in 2008.  Therefore the number of passengers has remained largely consistent since 2008, but there was an overall decrease since 2007.
