Decision details

Further to Minute No. 99 of the meeting of Cabinet Member – Technical Services held on 3 November 2010, the Cabinet Member considered the report of the Planning and Economic Development Director that sought a decision on a proposal to introduce Pay and Display Parking in the Waterloo and Crosby Coastal off-street car parks; and indicating that a decision on this matter was required as Council, on 17 December 2009, approved for inclusion in 2010/11 and future Council budgets income of £77,000 to be generated from the introduction of Pay and Display Parking in the Waterloo and Crosby Coastal area off-street car parks; the decision on the detail of the parking scheme and hence necessary Traffic Regulation Orders for how this was to be achieved was delegated to the Crosby Area Committee.  However, at their meeting on 20 January 2010, the Crosby Area Committee referred the matter to Cabinet Member - Technical Services.  Hence a decision of the Cabinet Member was now required to achieve the Council's budget approvals.

The report detailed the Cabinet Member's review of the requests made by the Crosby Area Committee and local traders on the following issues:

·       initial free period for short stay parking

·       residents permits

·       operational times - leisure car parks

·       review of on-street parking

·       refunds

·       consultation

·       displaced parking

·       improvements to car parks

The report also detailed the recommended scale of charges and their hours of operation.

RESOLVED:  

That the report on the proposed parking charges at Crosby Civic Hall/Library, Hougoumont Avenue, Crosby Coastal Park, Blucher Street and Burbo Bank Car Parks be noted.
