Charges for on-street parking in West Sussex are set to rise.
West Sussex County Council said it's reviewing charges for on-street parking permits and for short stay pay and display.
Due to the impact of the ongoing Covid-19 crisis, the cost of a number of permits will remain unchanged.
Subject to the council's usual call-in period for decisions, charges for Visitor Permits, Healthcare Permits, Residents' Carer Permits, Trader Permits, Doctor Permits and Hotel Permits (in Worthing only) will remain unchanged.
Charges for Residents' Permits, Non-Residents' Permits, Countywide (essential user) Permits, Dispensation Notices, Parking Bay Suspensions, Short Stay Pay and Display and at Crawley Library will all increase in line with the Retail Price Index (RPI).
The authourity said it's also in an attempt to promote the County Council's traffic management objectives.
Where a RPI increase is applied, the fee will be rounded up to the nearest £, or, in the case of Pay and Display, the nearest 10p.
The new charges are expected to come into effect on 4 January, 2021.
According to the County Council, the income generated from this will be used towards covering inflationary cost increases for running the parking system and improving on-street parking provision across the county.
