Agenda item

The Committee considered a report in relation to the introduction of six car parking orders that were deferred at the 26 July 2021 meeting as it was considered that further detail was needed regarding the implementation of a system permitting schemes for night fishing and local residents.

In summary, the report outlined that fishing permits would be explored during the winter ready for the next season. With regard to residential permits, car parking charges would only be applicable during the peak hours of the summer season. The complexity of implementing a system for the minority of residents who objected to the proposal wasn't considered to be cost effective; however it was recommended that this be reviewed over the 2022 summer season to evaluate its efficacy.

Members agreed that the proposals were now acceptable and ultimately felt it necessary that revenue be generated to maintain the facility. Particular appreciation was given to review period before implementation.

On a motion proposed by Councillor I G Fleetwood and seconded by I D Carrington, it was:

RESOLVED (10 with one abstention (Councillor Mrs Newton))

1. That a self-service, electronic system for the purchase of fishing permits be implemented over the winter season of 2021-2022 and following the implementation of the proposed Off Street Parking Order considered in the previous committee meeting of 26 July 2021
2. That no residential permitting scheme be immediately implemented but that this be kept under review during the period 1 October 2021 to 1 October 2022 to determine whether there is a need to alter this position.
3. That the objections made to proposal details in the off street parking places order presented on the 26 July 2021 be overruled and the proposal become operative.
