AS the lockdown begins to ease with more measures relaxed, life is beginning to get back to normal across Devon – and that includes car parking charges.

Across the county in the majority of areas, changes were made to car parking charges which meant that car parks were either free or at a much reduced rate.

But now with some non-essential retail shops beginning to reopening and the country attempting to recover from the coronavirus crisis, parking charges in most car parks are now back in force.

The Local Democracy Reporting Service took a look at the various restrictions and charges across Devon. 

TEIGNBRIDGE: Normal fees and charges apply and existing permits remain valid in all car parks. Non-essential workers should pay the appropriate charges.

Those essential workers and volunteers who are travelling to perform an essential role will receive free car parking.

These are:

All blue light service staff

NHS and private health care workers

Social care workers

Businesses and volunteers delivering essential food and medicine.

This will enable them to park in Council owned car parks without having to worry about cost or time restrictions (Please though do not park in any space or car park marked reserved).
