Decision details

Considerations of responses to proposals to regulate parking conditions in car parks in Bath by replacing the current off street parking order and residents off street parking order

(1) In regard to the proposals after consideration of the objections that the Bath Order is made as advertised except that in regard to Brougham Hayes car park the permit price will be £225 per annum

(2) in regard to the proposals after consideration of the objections that the North East Somerset Order is made as advertised.

Due to the number of issues with the existing Order, it was not considered appropriate to delay the advertisement until after the Council budget meeting. It was therefore agreed to proceed in the manner described above with the commitment not to proceed prior to the budget being agreed.

To delay the advertisement of the Order until after the budget meeting

This was rejected due to the rationale set out above. Additionally, due to the time it takes to advertise an Order the savings as specified as part of the MTSRP would not be achieved for the full year. Whilst parking income is never linear, the loss due to a delay in implementation averages £9k per month.
