MOTORISTS will have to pay more for leaving their cars in council car parks as charges are set to increase.
Plans include charging more for the cost of one hour stays - from 50p to 60p. The cost of leaving a vehcile for two-hours will go up by 20p to £1.20, Chiltern District Council's Cabinet agreed yesterday. An 'upto three hours' band will also be introduced at the Civic Centre Car Park, in Amersham.
The changes to the tariffs at car parks controlled by Chiltern District Council, are due to take effect from April 1.
They would make an estimated additional £130,000 for the council, according to a report.
However a proposal to introduce a half an hour tariff, as seen in car parks in South Bucks district, was thrown out at the meeting.
The issue will come before the full council later this month.

Chiltern District Council have been forced to suspend their waste collection service again due to the heavy snow overnight.
The council hope to send its team out on Saturday but weather conditions could see those plans scuppered and plan to keep residents updated through their website.
When collections resume next week the council will only be collecting black bin waste with residents told to retain their green waste until their next scheduled collection.
All black bags should be taken off the road and re-presented on the next scheduled collection date and all recycling boxes should be held onto until the next collection date.
