Decision

The Cabinet Member for Parks, Highways & Transport Services has considered a report providing an overview of those car parks within the borough that are currently free of charge and the rationale for identifying which car parks are proposed to see the introduction of charges.

The report detailed the fair and reasonable approach being applied to the implementation of the proposal, this is in terms of location (e.g. proximity to district centres, commuter use etc), operational impacts on the local area and cost/benefit analysis plus the impact assessments undertaken.

The Cabinet Member for Parks, Highways and Transport Services has then given approval to the implementation of the proposals detailed within the report, including the advertising and creation of an Off-street Parking Places Order containing the provisions stated in Article 4.7 of the report, on the following car parks:

·         Andrew Street

·         Hibbert/Church Lane

·         Brabyns Brow (Lower)

·         Brabyns Brow (Upper) (Middlers)

·         Brabyns Park (main visitor car park)

·         Brookside Lane

·         Buxton Road (Library)

·         Buxton Road (Medical Centre)

·         Windlehurst Road

Alternative options considered
