The Portfolio Holder for Cleaner & Greener presented the report which updated Members on the annual review of parking management (fees and charges) for 2022/23. It proposed for consultation, changes to the tariffs in on and off-street parking schemes. The Cleaner & Greener Advisory Committee had considered the same report and were in support of the recommendations.

The Head of Direct Services advised that the proposals in the report had been developed to support the local economy,  further advance the District Council’s move to Net Zero 2030, and embraced the most up-to-date thinking on parking management. The proposal was expected to meet the increased income assumptions agreed by Council as part of the 10-year budget on 22 February 2022. This gave a total pressure of £207,639, which would need to be generated within the financial year 2022/23.
