Issue - meetings

To consider the report of the head of economy, leisure and property. 

Cabinet considered the report of the head of HR, IT and technical services. The report reviewed car parking fees and charges and invited Cabinet to consider whether any changes should be made in 2016/17.

Cabinet considered the options: to increase the fees and charges or keep them at the current level, to increase the price of permits, or to introduce a charge on Sundays. 

The Cabinet member with responsibility for car parks recommended that the council did not increase its car park fees and charges for 2016/17.  However, he suggested that in early 2016, Cabinet considered introducing free parking in all car parks on Saturdays in December 2016.  Cabinet agreed with this view.

RESOLVED: to

(a)          not increase the car park fees and charges for 2016/17 but leave them at the levels as set out in the appendices to the report; and

(b)          consider early in 2016 introducing free parking in all car parks on Saturdays in December 2016.
