The Cabinet considered a report on the possibility of re-introducing the incremental tariff on the Councils “Pay on Foot” car parks.

The Portfolio Holder for Community Services, Councillor M. J. A. Webb reported on the background to the proposal and in particular the apparent public demand for the re-introduction of the incremental tariffs and the cost implications of this.

RESOLVED:  

(a)       that the incremental charging system as detailed in the report be re-introduced and that officers be tasked with undertaking a review of the car parking provision, the charging structure that supports this and the extent to which alternative methods of service delivery can be achieved in this area, with a view to the provision of a more sustainable and cost effective car parking provision as part of the current shared service review;

(b)(i)    that the cost implications of re-introducing incremental charging and the consequential effect this will have on the Medium Term Financial Plan for 2011/2012 be noted;

(b)(ii)   that this deficit be managed by the Executive Director of Finance and Corporate Resources as part of the wider budget setting process for future years.

            RECOMMENDED   that £45,000 be released from balances to ensure a balanced budget for 2010/2011 in respect of the incremental charging scheme.
