Who is Liftshare and what do they do?
The Council has contracted with Liftshare, the UK's leading car share provider. They offer a lift share service to Council staff. Liftshare enables organised car sharing by connecting people travelling in the same direction. Through arranging to travel together and share the costs, it reduces congestion and pollution at the same time. As the development work of the Town Hall continues, parking availability will be reduced and alternative arrangements will need to be made.
There are designated Liftshare parking bays at the Town Hall. Currently located to the south of the Assembly Hall, which will be reserved only for those using the scheme. You must sign up for Liftshare, and make all sharing arrangements through the site to benefit from the allocated parking.
