Response
Our car park counter systems are designed to calculate and publish real-time occupancy levels in order to provide information to our customers about available spaces.
The system also provides an overview of the typical occupancy levels throughout the day to identify parking pressures, however we do not hold information regarding how many cars use the car parks on a monthly basis.
The following table shows the number of season tickets sold in 2019 and 2020.
Season ticket sales
|
|---|
| Year | No. Season tickets sold |
| 2019 | 6916 |
| 2020 up to 30 September | 2718 |
Please note that parking was free between 1 April and 30 June 2020 as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.
We record the usage of season tickets four times a year, therefore we are unable to provide the monthly figures requested, however, we have provided the statistics available in the following table.
