Reason for Decision:

As set out in the report.

RESOLVED

The Director (DB) presented the report on increasing car park tariffs from April 2019, including the further regulation of car parking at King George V Playing Fields. Members were advised that the report proposed to increase tariffs in Zone 1 and 2 by 10 % and to increase tariffs in Zone 3 by 50p, although there would be no increase for season ticket holders. Car parking at King George V Playing Fields would now be for a maximum of four hours to ensure that the car park was available for recreational users and not used by commuters.

The Leader commented that the Council had not made any general inflationary car park rises for a number of years.

During discussion, Members highlighted the facilities at the King George V Playing Field welcoming the four hour parking limit and acknowledging the need to encourage more sustainable modes of transport across the city.

A Member raised an objection with regards to the increase in the car park charges in Topsham.

Place Scrutiny Committee considered the report at its meeting on 17 January 2019 and its comments were reported.
