(a) Flowerpot,

(b) Station Road (Exwick) and

(4) parking to a maximum 3 hour stay be restricted at the new Clifton Hill and Station Road (Exwick) car parks.

Reason for Decision:

Parking charges within the city have fallen behind other cities and the Council has ambitious plans to reduce congestion in the city. A reasonable pricing policy will support these objectives. Costs have risen with the rise of payment by credit and debit cards, along with mobile phone payment charges. Increased tariff charges will negate the need to introduce a separate surcharge and cover these additional costs. To reduce anomalies in parking provision by operating all pay and display sites in-house under a Parking Places Order.
