Purpose

To consider a call-in to the Portfolio Holder
Decision made on 12 December 2025

Decision

Communities Overview and Scrutiny upheld the
call in and recommended that the Portfolio Holder for Transport and
Planning reconsider the decision, taking into account the following
recommendations:
 

To reduce the 15-minute charge to
35p from the proposed 45p, and if necessary, increase charges for
higher time periods for revenue purposes.
To consider introducing a new
10-minute free parking period.
To engage with local businesses
affected by the proposed 15-minute charge increase on any future
increases, acknowledging that the other price bands are determined
by district and borough car parking rates.
