NOTES
The above statistics are provided for interest only and one should be wary of drawing any particular conclusions from the results. Town Car Parks are used by residents and perhaps more importantly, by people visiting the town, whether for shopping or tourism.
High use of (and resulting income derived from) car parks may be due to any of a number of factors including:
Lack of alternative free off and/or on-street parking for both residents and visitors. Regular livestock market or other town centre activity.
Tourist and visitor traffic.
Successful town centre shopping/leisure attractions.
Poor local public transport resulting in increased private car usage.
The income figures were taken from Powys County Council records. Population figures were taken from several sources and may not be entirely accurate.
Powys County Council own (or are responsible for) an additional six (6) car parks controlled my nil-charging parking orders and an additional 30 car parks with no parking orders on them where no charges are made.
