The inclusion of Housing owned car parks in the parking order would enable the Council to enforce parking measures to prevent non residents parking in the limited number of bays available to residents of specific blocks.

A motion was MOVED by Cllr Hossack and SECONDED by Cllr Poppy to agree the recommendations in the report.

A vote was taken by a show of hands and it RESOLVED UNANIMOUSLY that:

1.            The Committee approve the request to include three housing owned car parks, Gibraltar House, Mayflower House and the Keys Eagle way, in Brentwood Borough Council’s parking order.

2.            That a consultation take place with residents and business owners to outline the options and preferences for enforcement at these two car parks following implementation of the order.

3.            That a longer term parking solution is explored to increase paid parking capacity in the area and to accommodate the displaced vehicles from these two car parks and surrounding area.

REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION

The Committee was asked to note the request from Members and residents to enforce parking in these three car parks.

The Committee was asked to note the length of time this problem had been ongoing and the work to date of Housing Services to mitigate the problem to no avail.

The Committee was asked to explore with other Council departments the potential for further paid parking in Warley which would help to meet the parking need in the area and increase income to the General Fund.
