Decision:
RESOLVED:
|
1 That authority is
given to proceed with the required public consultations to enable
implementation of the following amendments to the parking
strategy.
|
i
|
Changes to the
geographical boundaries for qualification for residents on-street
permits to the existing Red zone and Blue area residents parking
schemes in Ludlow are assessed and implemented if after full
consultation any changes are deemed appropriate.
|
|
ii
|
To
introduce concessions that allow, in appropriate circumstances
entitlement by residents who hold on-street parking permits to also
park within approved specified carparks that are in close proximity to on-street residents parking
schemes.
|
|
iii
|
That all loading
bays across the county excluding shared use bays should operate 24
hours a day 7 days a week.
|
|
iv
|
That when the number of on-street parking spaces available in
any residents parking scheme is less than the number of properties,
the on-street residents parking permit criteria restricting
allocation to one permit per property, registered in the scheme, be
increased to 2 permits per property subject to the completion of a
residents survey where 51% or more of the returns indicate a
preference and the local Member/s is/are in support.
|
|
v
|
To
assist with the excessive demand for season tickets in some popular
carparks it is proposed that the specified maximum number of
resident permit and season ticket thresholds for all off street
carparks are combined to give an overall maximum threshold for each
carpark.
|
|
vi
|
That annual permit concessions for holiday let properties
located within an on-street residents parking scheme be provided.
Entitlement to be one digital permit per holiday let property at a
cost of £100 per permit which is equivalent to the cost of a
residents on street permit.
|
|
vii
|

Mondays to Saturdays in Raven Meadows multi storey car park,
Shrewsbury are brought forward to by 2 hours to apply between the

|
|
viii
|
That on Mondays to Saturdays in Raven Meadows multi storey car
park, Shrewsbury a 2 hour rather than the existing 3-hour tariff
cap to the evening /overnight tariffs should apply.
|
|
|
2 That the Executive
Director of Place in consultation with the Portfolio Holder, be
given delegated authority to consider the outcomes of the
consultation decide whether to implement recommendations
i to viii following the public
consultation, and to make, publish and confirm any TRO changes
