Agenda item - Light to Full scheme parking scheme programme

Report of the Executive Director, Economy, Environment & Culture

1)           That Committee approves an initial high-level consultation in the West Hove area, Hove Park area, Hanover & Elm Grove area, Coombe Road area & Wish Road area light touch parking schemes. This high-level consultation would seek resident’s views on converting to full schemes or remaining as a light touch parking scheme.

2)           That Committee agrees that as part of this high-level consultation residents will be given options on keeping to a light touch parking scheme with a potential increased price for 2024/25 or changing to a full “outer” parking scheme with the current light touch prices frozen for 2024/25.

3)           That Committee approves a new alternative permit pricing option for a full parking scheme permit in “outer” parts of the city as part of the above consultation.  This replicates all the current costs of light touch parking schemes.

31.1      The Committee considered a report of the Executive Director, Economy, Environment & Culture that made a series of proposals relating to the Budget Council decision in February 2023 to convert all light touch resident parking schemes to full schemes.

31.2      Councillor Bagaeen asked questions and contributed to the debate of the report.
