2.    Following the consultation the final decision is to return to Cabinet Executive to make minor amendments to the District of Blaby (Off-Street Parking Places) Order prior to implementation.

Reasons:

1.    There is a statutory process to be followed to introduce any changes to the way in which the Council regulates its car parks.

2.    To allow for any small changes to be made to the car parking Order after the statutory consultation periods have taken place.

Considered – Report of the Environmental Services Manager.

The Housing, Community Safety and Environmental Services Portfolio Holder, Cllr. Les Phillimore proposed an amendment to recommendation 2.2 of the report as follows 'Following the consultation the final decision is to return to Cabinet Executive to make minor amendments to the District of Blaby (Off-Street Parking Places) Order prior to implementation.'

Other options considered:

This is a legal requirement to allow changes on how the Council enforces in the car parks. With the expiry of the Experimental Orders, introduction of EV charging at Enderby Leisure Centre and the decision to charge at Bouskell Park, introducing a new Parking Order is the only option.
