She introduced the report to Cabinet and explained that it followed formal consultation with residents which aimed to identify on-street parking pressures within the borough and proposals to address these. She outlined that the Council had analysed the responses to the consultation and developed a programme of new Controlled Parking Zones (CPZs) and CPZs reviews based on need and the prioritisation of actions needed to address parking pressures. She also noted that Cabinet would need to deliver a budget provision of £0.34m to deliver the programme.

Councillor Miller, thanked officers for taking the views of Councillors into account as part of the consultation.
