Simple terms explainer:
Councils can provide, manage, and maintain off-street car parks to support local transport and accessibility. This means they have the power to create parking facilities away from public roads, keep them in good condition, and set rules or charges for their use. This helps reduce congestion on streets, improves safety, and supports businesses and residents by making parking more convenient.
