Minutes:

The report of the Strategic Director of Place (Document “U”)requested that any objections received in relation to the amendments to the On–Street Parking Places Consolidation Order 2015, be considered by the Strategic Director of Place in consultation with the Portfolio Holder. This would require authority from the Executive to delegate consideration of objections to the proposal and enable decisions to be made regarding whether the Order was sealed as advertised or if any modifications were to be made before implementation.

 

The Opposition Group Leader attended the meeting and spoke about parking issues in Bingley and Ilkley to illustrate his opposition to the proposals for the City Centre.  He was of the opinion that any additional income would be depleted by the cost of implementing the proposals and that increased charges would deter visitors. 

 

The Regeneration, Planning and Transport Portfolio Holder reminded him that the proposals were to implement a budget decision and that no alternative plans had been put forward.  He considered that the charges were not unreasonable and were in line with other cities and towns in the Country.  He stressed that the proposals were designed to achieve a turn over of parking and manage premium parking spaces in the City Centre which would be beneficial for businesses.

 

The Leader and the Regeneration, Planning and Transport Portfolio Holder stressed the importance of making Bradford a destination and referred to initiatives such as Sparkling Bradford that had led to an increase in footfall.

 

Resolved -

 

That consideration of objections to the Schedule as outlined in 9.1 – On Street Parking Places, shown in Appendix A to Document “U” , be delegated to  the Strategic Director of Place in consultation with the Portfolio Holder with power to seal the Order as advertised or make any modifications before implementation.
