Have your say on how Bolton Council deliver parking services in Bolton.
Bolton Council is responsible for parking services and parking regulations on public land within the borough. Whilst some services are run directly by Bolton Council staff, others are contracted out and run by organisations which have successfully bid and won a tender to operate these services on our behalf.
The Council's Civil Enforcement Parking contract is up for renewal on 1st January 2024 and we are taking the opportunity to look at the whole service to see what works well and where improvements could be made.
Taking part in this short survey will help inform the retender process for the Civil Enforcement Parking, as well as provide us with invaluable feedback on our wider parking services, helping us to shape where improvements can be made.
Please note: Civil Parking Enforcement is a statutory and necessary duty and that we are asking for your views on the way the service is provided. The Consultation Team will not be able to respond directly to any comments through this consultation. However, you can contact Parking Services on 01204 336352 for any queries or disputes.

The Committee report advised that initial discussions with Trafford, Tameside and Rochdale Councils’ Procurement Team STAR had indicated that Rochdale, Tameside and Trafford Councils would want to proceed with a joint contract with Bolton. This arrangement could enable Bolton Council to benefit from a reduction in overall costs.
The report therefore proposed that STAR would act as a Lead in the procurement of the new Civil Parking Enforcement Contracts. Bolton Council would retain responsibility for drafting the specification relative to Bolton to ensure the needs of the Council were met through the tender process.
The contract would be procured through STAR who would also agree and finalise the terms. However, the Council would review the Contract to make sure the terms were acceptable.
In the meantime, it was proposed to continue with the current arrangements with NSL by way of a three-month extension until 31st March, 2024.
