To consider the report of the Environmental Services Manager (enclosed).

DECISIONS

1.    That the responses received during the Consultation be considered.

2.    That the Notice of Making for the District of Blaby (Off-Street Parking Places) Order 2024 be approved for publication.

Reasons:

1.    That Cabinet review the consultation responses detailed in Table 1 of the report.

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

Considered – Report of the Environmental Services Manager.

Other Options Considered:

1.    There is the option to make no amendments to the current parking places order, however this would not allow for effective enforcement where experimental orders have been in place. Failure to introduce charging at the Bouskell Park Car Park would not be in line with the previously approved Parks and Open Spaces Strategy and Car Parking Strategy.

2.    The Notice of Making is a legal requirement to allow changes to be made to the operation of car parks within the district.
