Planning

To consider the review of the car parking arrangements and the proposed fees and charges in respect of parking matters with effect from 1 April 2020 for approval.

Resolved:

1.  That the schedule of fees and charges proposed with effect from 1April 2020 shown at Annex 6 to the report be approved.

2.  That the schedule of car parking tariffs proposed with effect from 1April 2020 shown at Annex 7 to the report be approved.

Consideration was given to the report of the Planning Portfolio Holder which proposed new tariff arrangements arising from a review of car parking in the Council’s car parks.

Changes to the car parking tariffs were proposed with the aim of increasing footfall and dwell time in the town centres to support the Council’s corporate priority of growing the potential of our town centres.

The proposed new tariffs maintained the current position of free parking after 4pm Monday to Saturday and free parking on Sundays and Bank Holidays.

Having considered the options and for the reasons set out in the report, Cabinet agreed to the following:

Resolved:

1.  That the schedule of fees and charges proposed with effect from 1April 2020 shown at Annex 6 to the report be approved.

2.  That the schedule of car parking tariffs proposed with effect from 1April 2020 shown at Annex 7 to the report be approved.
