Minutes:
Consideration was given to reducing the charges for the use of this car park in order to achieve a fairer tariff and harmonisation with other similar locations by setting a fair price in respect of parking demand and location.
The proposed charges were equivalent to the lowest currently charged in Cheshire East town centres and reflected the needs of the locality whilst still conforming to the policy that car parks should, wherever possible and reasonable, bear charges that went some way to covering the costs of operation and maintenance.
The Cabinet Member for the Environment confirmed that by setting the charges at those now proposed the opportunity would be provided to further monitor their effect and that, after a reasonable period of operation, a further assessment could be made. In considering the options available it was stressed that consideration would always be given to local solutions to particular problems and whenever possible to the encouragement and provision of support for local businesses.
