Issue - meetings

This report proposes to offer a limited number of parking season tickets for the Northwick Park car park in order to raise income to cover the cost of the facility.

(i)            that statutory consultation on the introduction of limited season ticket parking for Northwick Park car park, as set out in paragraph 3.7 of the submitted report be authorised;

(ii)          that the Operational Director (Environment and Employment Services) be delegated authority to implement the season ticket parking scheme for Northwick Park car park subject to any minor alterations necessary following consultation with ward members and the Lead Member for Environment and to make any necessary subsequent amendments to existing traffic management orders;

(iii)         that a report showing the results of the monitoring information on usage of the car park and detailing the income received be submitted to the Highways Committee by the end of 2016.

Members considered the submitted report on proposals to achieve the income target for Northwick Park car park. 

Members sought assurances that the car park would be operated on a cost neutral basis and that anybody wishing to visit the park would still be able to park.  The committee was advised that the situation would be closely monitored but that it was very unlikely the car park would generate a profit.  Users of the park would not be affected. 

RESOLVED:

(i)         that statutory consultation on the introduction of limited season ticket parking for Northwick Park car park, as set out in paragraph 3.7 of the submitted report be authorised;

(ii)        that the Operational Director (Environment and Employment Services) be delegated authority to implement the season ticket parking scheme for Northwick Park car park subject to any minor alterations necessary following consultation with ward members and the Lead Member for Environment and to make any necessary subsequent amendments to existing traffic management orders;
