Decision details

The Cabinet Member for Environmental Services accepted this item of an urgent item of business as provided by Paragraph 43.6 of the Executive Procedure Rules. The item was urgent because the need to seek specific approval of the charges had been identified only within the last few days during the drafting of the order and therefore it could not meet the usual reporting timetable.

At the meeting of 9 July 2009 the Cabinet Member approved, subject to statutory consultation, the introduction of car parking control at the Civic Centre (Library) Car Park, Crewe. It had been anticipated that the statutory consultation for the amendments to the 2008 Order would have commenced before the meeting of 3 August 2009. Without approval of the charges to be implemented, however, the statutory period could not be commenced.

The supplementary report now before the Cabinet Member sought approval of the charges of £2.50 per day or £400 for an annual contract permit. The site was previously managed by Cheshire County Council outside of Car Park Order control and the proposed charges mirrored the existing charges on the site.

RESOLVED

That subject to the 21 days’ statutory consultation already in progress, a further amendment be made to the Borough of Crewe and Nantwich (General) (Off Street Parking Places) (Consolidation) (Minor) Order 2008, to introduce charging at £2.50 per day or £400 for an annual contract permit.
