Minutes:

The Portfolio Holder for Transport and Highways presented a report from the Head of Infrastructure and Communities relating to proposed revisions and fine tuning to Part 1 of the Parking Strategy Framework.  

 

Further to the comments made earlier in the meeting Councillor Boddington commented on the fragility of the success of the Ludlow market and the need to ensure the parking regime did not put this in jeopardy and urged that the existing car parking concessions to market traders be retained.  Members accepted his representations and agreed that the Ludlow concessions for market traders be retained. Cabinet further agreed that the whole gamut of car parking changes should be considered by scrutiny after a suitable timescale had elapsed in order to assess the impact.

RESOLVED:

That approval be granted for the revision of Part 1 of the new Parking Strategy Framework as follows:
