Annual Parking Permit

Very efficient

It's disgusting that the price of this pass has doubled in the past year. I know the PDNP needs money, but surely it's better to encourage people to use the car parks?

As my income has halved since the election because of the government's mis-handling of the economy I can only assume it is the same problem that has meant the 100% increase in the annual car park permit, which I now cannot afford. What this now means is that I will go to Buxton where I know I can park for free and then use my bus pass to go to various places each week (not necessarily in the National Park) for free. It will just take longer. I will keep watching to see if it gets reduced to a fee that I can afford, but I shall not be holding my breath.

I logged on with the intention to renew my annual permit.
I am however shocked by how much it has increased in price. It is for that reason I have decided not to renew and will find alternative parking where it is safe and legal to do so on the roadside and start my walks from there.
I am also a member of the national trust so I in effect can still park in certain areas of the peaks and beyond.

Maybe the cost of the pass was underpriced before and is now a shock to people after increasing so much. I will be renewing again as I enjoy visiting the Peak District and am happy for the money to go towards its upkeep. When you can pay nearly £4 for a cup of coffee in some places nowadays, I find the pass good value overall.
