Decision details

Evening Parking Charges

Decision Maker: Cabinet

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

To consider a report of the Cabinet Member for Transport and District Regeneration detailing the consultation on the proposal to implement on street and off street evening parking charges within the City and seeking authority to act upon the consultations

Decision:

To approve the proposed Evening Parking Charges for

implementation

Reasons for the decision:

To manage demand for parking during the evening period.

 

To encourage drivers to use alternative transport modes for the benefits of

reduced congestion and improved air quality

Alternative options considered:

To not implement the Evening Parking Charges, as this would not achieve the

aim of these proposals.

 

To implement the proposal in part, as this would have to be justified on the

basis of traffic management reasons, especially given the likelihood of

displacement of parking from the areas where the charges were implemented

 

To defer implementations of the proposals, as material considerations such

as the levels of parking demand, may have changed within an extended

timeframe, which may warrant a further investigation/consultation
