Parking Award for Torridge
Torridge District Council has been awarded the Best Parking Policy in Devon 2014 award from the Federation of Small Businesses.
Torridge Parking Award
At a special event in Tiverton, Deputy Leader Roger Johnson accepted the award, which recognises the most user friendly car parking policies, on behalf of the council.
Cllr Johnson said, 'We are trying hard in Torridge to overcome the obstacles of a reduction in funding and staff cuts but still maintaining our services to the public. We have introduced a number of initiatives recently to encourage people into our local towns, like free parking at certain times and especially overnight parking for motorhomes which has been a fantastic success. We are the only authority in Devon which has proactively changed its policy to encourage motorhomes here, and we have had so many visiting the district, staying overnight and spending their money in our local shops and restaurants. This award is clear recognition of the hard work put in by our parking services manager Simon Toon and his team.'
