Event Tariff – Clennon Valley car park

Reasons for the decision:
In order to support
the demand for parking, Torbay Council will adopt the same pre-book
method used in previous years running of this event for six car
parks across Paignton. The increase in charges is required due to
additional operational costs attributed to the parking places
during the course of the event.
Alternative options considered:
Not to operate the
pre-book parking method, which would lead to event attendees not
knowing if there would be capacity for them to park at each of the
locations prior to visiting each car park.
Implementation:
Pre-booked parking is available via the Air Show website, access
to each car park across the three event dates will only be
permitted to customers who have reserved a parking space in
advance.
Information:
It is
proposed to increase parking charges in six car parks for the
duration of the English Riviera Air Show event.
