64.1      The Committee considered a report of the Executive Director, Economy, Environment & Culture that provided an update on the progress of recent resident parking scheme consultations and requested approval for a range of proposals.

64.2      Councillor Wares referred to the concerns raised in the deputation received by the committee earlier in the meeting, particularly that action was taken based on a relatively low response rate to consultations. Councillor Wares stated that he believed the council needed to find a way to improve the response rate to provide greater assurance on the decisions it made.

64.3      Councillor Moonan stated that the parking scheme consultation process was one of the most resident led. The process began with petitions then three opportunities to be engaged as the process progressed. Councillor Moonan stated that a higher response rate would be welcome however, the council had to make decisions on the responses it received.
