From 31 March, parking tariff charges in Milton Keynes city centre will change for the first time in almost a decade.

The changes, first announced in November, will be:
Two-hour minimum stay period in standard (purple) bays becomes £2.00 (currently £1.00) with the hourly rate thereafter changed unchanged at 50p per hour.
One-hour minimum stay period in premium (red) bays becomes £2.50 (currently £2.00) with the hourly rate thereafter unchanged at £2.00 per hour.
E1 employee permit daily charge becomes £3.00 for a whole day (currently £2.80) or £2.00 for five hours (currently £1.40).
Removal of the car share, hotel or conference permits due to their limited use. Car share permit applications have fallen by nearly 90% in the last five years.
The new tariffs still mean that Milton Keynes remains competitive compared to other similar city centre parking such as Northampton or Bedford centres which cost £2 per hour to park.
The changes align the cost of parking closer to that of bus travel as part of wider work to encourage more passengers onto public transport. For most journeys in Milton Keynes the bus fare to the city centre is £2.00 for a single trip.
