The demand on the staff parking is increasing. The North Car park at the Town Hall Ingrave Road, is predominantly allocated for staff however it currently is an allocated public car park in the borough. Staff, members, and visitors travelling to the Town Hall are unable to park as the public utilise the spaces. To manage the parking effectively at the Town Hall it is recommended that Zone A is returned to a staff car park Monday – Friday and that the car park be made for public parking at weekends only.

Cllr Kendall confirmed that the EV chargers located in this car park would still be available to the public 7 days a week. 

Following discussion Cllr Kendall MOVED and Cllr Lewis SECONDED the recommendations in the report. Members voted UNANIMOUSLY and it was resolved:

That the Council’s off-street parking order is amended for the Town Hall (North Car Park) Zone A Car Park in Appendix A to the following:

• Staff Permit Parking Only Monday to Friday.

Public parking at weekend only. Car Parks Zone B (Visitors) and Zone C (South car park) to remain as they currently are.

REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS

To ensure that the Council as an organisation, operating from the Town Hall has the appropriate car parking provision that can be managed effectively.
