[Report of the Director of Environment and Neighbourhoods. To be introduced by the Cabinet Member for Transformation and Public Realm Investment.]

This report seeks approval to amend the implementation date of changes proposed to parking permits and charges, to coincide with the implementation of the Parking IT system. The report will also clarify the charge increase that will apply to parking permits.

The Cabinet Member for Transformation and the Public Realm introduced the report which clarified that an increase of £10 would apply to all annual parking permit charge bands following the review of parking charges and in line with the associated statutory consultation.

RESOLVED

1. To agree a flat rate £10 increase to all annual parking permit charges. That this increase and surcharges agreed by Cabinet in September will apply pro rata to the six monthly parking permits. Those charges were set out in appendix 1.

2. To authorise officers to make the necessary changes to the Traffic Management Orders.

3. To agree that those changes and the changes agreed by Cabinet in September become effective at the point of the new Parking IT system becoming live.

Reasons for decision

This decision is required in order to clarify the parking charges to be implemented following statutory consultation undertaken in June 2020.

 Alternative options considered

The alternative option of doing nothing would leave an inconsistency in the Cabinet’s decision and the parking charges that were intended to be implemented following statutory consultation.
