Report of the Executive Director for Economy, Environment & Culture.

Decision:

RESOLVED:

 

(1)         That the funding of £770,000 for additional staff to work in the Traffic Control Centre from 2022/23 to be met from anticipated additional income be agreed; and

 

(2)         That the funding of the anticipated deficits of £320,000 in 2022/23 and 2023/24, if they materialise, from corporate reserves be agreed and that these will be repaid from anticipated surpluses in subsequent years.

Minutes:

11.1      The Head of Parking Services introduced a report concerning the proposed restructuring of the Traffic Control Centre within the Parking Services Team and to approve the funding to take forward a number of planned initiatives within City Transport. He noted that there would be a number of reports coming to the Environment, Transport & Sustainability Committee over the next few months in this regard.

 

11.2      The Sub-Committee welcomed the report and asked for consideration to be given to the use of cctv and red routes and how loading bans impacted on mandatory cycle lanes. It was also suggested that flexible parking tariffs should be investigated to enable greater use of car parks.

 

11.3      The Head of Parking Services stated that other cities such as San Francisco had been contacted to see how flexible tariffs worked but the difficulty was that the current legislation prevented the adoption of these in this country.

 

11.4      The Chair noted the comments and put the recommendations to the vote which were carried by 2 votes to 1.

 

11.5      RESOLVED:

 

(1)       That the funding of £770,000 for additional staff to work in the Traffic Control Centre from 2022/23 to be met from anticipated additional income be agreed; and

 

(2)       That the funding of the anticipated deficits of £320,000 in 2022/23 and 2023/24, if they materialise, from corporate reserves be agreed and that these will be repaid from anticipated surpluses in subsequent years.
