Issue - items at meetings - Seafront Parking

Report of the Director of Environment (copy attached).

(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.

145.1              The Cabinet Member considered a report of the Director of Environment concerning proposals to reduce seafront parking tariffs during winter months (for copy see minute book).

145.2              Councillors Mitchell and Watkins supported the proposal and thanked the Cabinet Member for listening to local businesses; the measures would serve to ease the pressure on businesses in the current economic climate.

145.3              Councillor Kitcat opposed the proposal on the basis that it undermined public transport and encouraged more cars to come in to the city.

145.4              RESOLVED - That having considered the information and the reasons set out in the report, the Cabinet Member accepted the following recommendation:

(1)       That the recently advertised TRO “the Brighton & Hove Seafront (Various Restrictions) Consolidation Order 2008 Amendment Order No *200* be amended 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.
