Seafront Parking
Decision Maker: Environment Cabinet Member Meeting
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Decision:
(1) That the Cabinet Member for Environment agrees to amend the recently advertised TRO “the Brighton & Hove Seafront (Various Restrictions) Consolidation Order 2008 Amendment Order No *200* to change the detail of the winter tariff and also the roads in which the tariff will apply. The new tariff will apply in Madeira Drive and Kingsway only, elsewhere the existing tariffs will now remain unchanged.
Reasons for the decision:
1. The recommendations in section 2 strike the best balance between encouraging usage and ensuring charges are consistent with premium city centre areas.
Alternative options considered:
1. Keep the tariffs as they are in Madeira Drive and The Kingsway (appendix A)
2. Accept the Yellow Waves proposal of 30p an hour which would make the parking cheaper than anywhere else in the city.
3. Introduce a winter tariff for the remainder of the roads in the seafront order. ( the remainder of the seafront roads are well used whatever time of the year so this does not appear necessary)
