On Street Parking Review Process Update

10/06/2015 - On Street Parking Review Process Update

That, as part of parking reviews, the following recommendations be approved:

 

1.         Parking schemes that reduce obstruction, improve road safety and meet the council’s other transport plan objectives be prioritised.

2.         In order to include a permit parking or other residential parking management scheme in a review, support should be demonstrated by at least 70% of frontages or a representative consultation group. (Exception by agreement of the Local Committee chairman/local member and parking team manager)

3.         The size of parking reviews be limited to a maximum of 50 sites per district review. (Exception by agreement of the local committee chairman/parking team manager)

4.         To also seek comments in support of proposals as part of the statutory consultation process, not just objections.

5.         To letter dropping all affected frontages as part of the parking review statutory consultation.

6.         To actively aim to minimise displacement in new parking schemes.

7.         That there is no change to the minimum existing charges for resident and visitor permits for on street parking schemes. These will be considered again during 2016 in conjunction with preparations for the review of parking enforcement agency agreements.

8.         That local committees have more flexibility to set charges for business permits, however the minimum should be £150.

9.       There is no change to the current level of charges for parking bay suspensions and waivers.
