Issue - meetings

The Cabinet is requested to approve that when the current suspension of the car parking charges ends on the 8 June 2020 that the options for parking incentives, as set out in section 4.1, are implemented from 8 June 2020 and a further report is brought back to the Cabinet and Council within six months.

Due to the financial implications of these decisions, the recommendations at 2.1 would ordinarily be referred to Council. Cabinet therefore note that the urgency provisions from the constitution will be used instead to resolve these before 8 June 2020.

*RESOLVED

1.    That when the current suspension of the car parking charges ends on the 8 June 2020 that the options for parking incentives as set out in section 4.1 are implemented from 8 June 2020 with the addition of free parking for Careworkers in Northgate Car Park.

2.    That a further report is brought back to Overview and Scrutiny Committee, the Cabinet and Council within six months.

Cllr Bell introduced the item. Mrs Murphy was also present.

Cllr Lintill allowed Cllr Moss to provide comment on behalf of the Overview and Scrutiny Committee. Cllr Moss shared the views that care workers also be provided with free parking in the Northgate Car Park. He also explained the wish to bring a report to Full Council in July. Cllr Lintill explained that it would be too soon and Full Council in September would be more timely.

In a vote the following resolutions were made.
