East Herts District Council (EHDC) partnered with Citisense to consult on and deliver an updated Parking Strategy. As part of this initiative, Citisense proposed and led the consultation on a range of innovative measures, including the introduction of carbon-emissions based parking charges, a Workplace Parking Levy, and a diesel vehicle surcharge.

These proposals aimed to reduce traffic congestion, ensure greater consistency in parking prices across the district, and generate revenue to support the council’s medium-term financial plan.

Adopting a parking strategy grounded in broader environmental, social, and economic goals, and informed by direct engagement feedback, helps futureproof EHDC by providing a clear framework and authority to justify and guide future ambitious parking measures in alignment with the strategy’s established objectives.
