Minutes:

The Director (DB) presented the report increasing both car park tariffs and the number of pay and display parking sites from April 2018. He explained that the increase would support the Council’s ambition to reduce congestion in the city and that compared to other authority’s permit fees were disproportionally behind the daily parking tariff rates. The new charges would compare favourably with other cites which included Bath, Bristol, Cambridge and Plymouth.

The Leader proposed that £10,000 be ring fenced from the expected increase in parking income to investigate ways to address traffic congestion in the city. This was agreed by Members, who considered the increase would be a measure to tackle congestion and deter driving in the city without impacting city centre businesses.

Place Scrutiny Committee considered the report at its meeting on 11 January 2018 and its comments were reported.

RESOLVED that the following be approved:-

(1) To increase tariffs at Premium, Zone 1, Zone 2 and Zone 3 car parks by between £0.20 and £5.00 within the existing linear pricing structure as set out in the table below.

To consider the report of the Service Manager Community Safety and Enforcement.

Additional documents:

Minutes:

The Service Manager Community Safety & Enforcement presented a report which set out increasing both car park tariffs and the number of pay and display parking sites from April 2018. This would further enable a reasonable pricing policy to support the Council’s ambitions to reduce congestion in the city, address permit fees which had fallen disproportionally behind daily parking tariff rates, and also control parking areas alongside the canal to help ensure spaces remain accessible for those wishing to visit and enjoy the area.

In response to questions from Members, the Service Manager Community Safety & Enforcement informed that:-

· Card transactions at display machines and the withdrawal of card payment costs would be absorbed, costs of £15,000 were not previously absorbed;

· Bromhams Farm car park would be restricted to a maximum of a three hour stay.

Place Scrutiny Committee supported and recommended approval by Executive of the following:-

(1) The amendment of the Car Parking Places Order 2014 as set out below:-
