New on and off street parking schemes
Minutes:
Cabinet noted that currently there were five off street car parking areas that were free of charge. If these areas were changed to pay and display with an hourly charge in line with other areas, additional revenue would be generated for the Council and that revenue would partly be used for running and maintenance costs of these areas. It was hoped that charging would also assist with better turnover of vehicles and marked parking bays would help deal with inconsiderate parking.
Cabinet further observed that there were a number of on street parking areas around the district that could benefit by having a resident’s parking scheme, pay and display or both. Some of these areas were currently time limited bays. Enforcement of these time limited bays was drawn out, as officers needed to return to check vehicles, which was not the most effective use of officer time. Council would go to public consultation with the proposals for new schemes. This process would include having a statutory consultation before adopting the new parking schemes.
