Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:

To adopt the advertised parking charge changes across CBC car parks, pursuant to recommendations accepted by Cabinet in June 2017.

Reasons for the decision:

·         To reduce and help manage parking congestion issues around the town, particularly in the centre and in those areas where the Council provides off-street parking;

 

·         To help ensure an appropriate turnover of parking spaces to help support the local economy and in particular, those seeking access to local goods and services;

 

·         To help balance the cost and convenience of parking against other more sustainable transport options, thereby encouraging walking, cycling and the use of public transport, particularly for shorter journeys.

Alternative options considered:

The options considered are set out in the recommendations received from out parking consultant, which supported the report and recommendations approved by Cabinet in June 2017.

Other reasons / organisations consulted

The proposed charges were appropriately advertised, with only a very small number of representations received (3 no.)

 

The Cabinet Member has been consulted and is content to proceed with introduction of the new charges with effect from 1st March, 2018.

 

It was decided to proceed to implement the advertised charges.
