To agree:

 

(1)  The information provided in the appendices relating to the public consultation responses and analysis on the use of the additional parking bays.

 

(2)  Support is provided from the Cabinet Member to make the scheme permanent as soon as possible. This will be reflected within the formal statutory TRO decision-making process, noting that the final sign-off is via a delegated decision made by the Director of Place Management within which the Cabinet Member and ward members will have the opportunity to give formal comment.
