Issue - meetings

The Board considered a report on car parking income generated over the first six months following changes to the charging policies introduced on 1st April 2008 including the removal of concessionary passes for the over sixties. It was noted that ticket sales had risen by 1% and overall income had increased by 20% when compared to the same period last year. The income level however was below that which had been predicted in the budget. The Head of Street Scene and Community reported that a number of factors could have influenced this including a general downturn in the economy.

It was confirmed that consideration was currently being given to possible changes to the car parking service and that these together with all of the financial implications would be considered by Members as part of the budget discussions. Following discussion it was

RESOLVED  that the report be noted.
