Decision details

To approve the Council Parking Enforcement Policy.

Consideration was given to a report on the Council’s updated Parking Services Enforcement Policy.

It was noted that the policy had last been reviewed five years ago and therefore placed the Council at risk of legal challenge if it was not refreshed.  Concerns were raised in connection with the level of enforcement rather than the policy itself and it was requested that a report on the Council’s enforcement activity be brought to a future meeting of the Committee.  Further comments were made in respect of infrastructure including ensuring road markings were clearly visible and that the correct signage was on display in order to make the markings legal.  It was requested that when patching work was undertaken road markings were refreshed.

RESOLVED

That the updated Parking Services Enforcement Policy, as set out in Appendix 1 to the report be approved.

(Prior to consideration of the following item, the meeting was adjourned for a short break).
