Councillor Crane (Lead Member Environment) presented a report to the Cabinet which asked members to confirm previous arrangements and agree the ongoing delegation of powers to the London Councils Transport and Environment Committee Joint Committee (LCTEC) for the purpose of providing an appeals service for parking on private land. The Cabinet was further asked to agree that the LCTEC Governing Agreement be formally varied accordingly. The service had been provided on a cost recovery basis by London Councils through a contract with the British Parking Association since October 2012 and it was proposed that it should continue in this way until the end of the contract period in October 2015.

The Cabinet also had before them an appendix to the report which was not for publication as it contained the following category of exempt information as specified in Schedule 12 of the Local Government (Access to Information Act) 1972:
