Reasons for Decision

The proposals for both the pay-to-park and resident permit schemes align with the Fairer Westminster strategy and complement a number of corporate environmental policies, strategies and commitments as outlined in section 4.2 of the May 2023 report - ‘Parking Fee Structure Review – Approval Of Concept’.
