Decision

The Cabinet Member for Parks, Highways & Transport Services has given approval to one temporary resident parking permit per property for the properties 1-6 Old Reading Rooms and 229A Market Street, Compstall, for a one-year period, at a cost of £42.50 per permit.

During this one-year period, surveys will be carried out to assess the impact on the car parks and surrounding streets at which point a report will be submitted for consideration by the Area Committee to determine whether to proceed with the Residents Parking Scheme on a permanent basis. Surveys to include weekdays, weekends, holidays, and festivals.

Alternative options considered

Option one: Not to provide permits as per the original planning application.

Option two: To provide one temporary permit per property to the existing named residents until they move (any new resident would not be issued with a permit).

Option three: To provide one permit per property as part of a new Residents Parking Scheme, unless the area changes and a review is required.
