Decision details

The Cabinet Member for Environmental Services considered a report proposing an extension to the maximum permitted length of stay on Snow Hill Car Park, Nantwich from 5 hours to 10 hours.

The decision was being made at the same time as one to restrict the maximum length of stay on the Civic Hall car park to 5 hours. In this way, long stay customers would be able to park slightly further from the town centre, freeing short stay space on the Civic Hall car park.

The net effect of the changes in both proposals would be to increase the total number of bays available for 1-10 hours’ stay from 304 to 406 bays.

The amendment would be advertised for a period of 21 days and any objections received would be submitted to the Cabinet Member for consideration. If, having considered any objections, the Cabinet Member decided to amend the proposal, the amended proposal would be advertised.
