    The proposed decision was considered and endorsed at the Envrionment and Transport Cabinet Committee on 16 July 2019.

    Financial implications: The annual price of both season tickets are proposed to rise from the 1 September 2019 by £2. The standard ticket will therefore increase to £52 (costing the customer £1.00 per week to use all nine parks as frequently as they wish) and the blue badge season ticket will increase to £5.00 (10.4 pence per week). This £5.00 figure has been set as the sum to make the processing costs of all blue badge season ticket applications neutral (i.e. putting together those that do apply online with those that use contact centre) and will still not provide any surplus funds to support the ongoing maintenance of the park’s infrastructure

    Legal implications: KCC is entitled to charge for Pay and Display at the Kent Country Parks under Section 3 of the Local Government Act 2003 (Power to Charge for Discretionary Services) and Section 43 of the Countryside Act 1968.

    Equalities implications: EQIA’s have been completed to ensure impacts of charging changes have been considered and mitigations factored in where appropriate.
