Purpose

 
The purpose of this decision
report is to enable consideration of the objections received from
members of the public following the statutory consultation process
on the proposals to update the Emissions Based Parking Tariffs in
the borough.
 
The Executive Mayor’s
Business Plan sets the main policy drivers for the new parking
policy to be fair, supportive, transparent and efficient and the proposed
amendments to the parking charges helps to meet these aims. The new
parking charges recognise that vehicles are increasingly more
efficient, whilst not penalising the cost of the less efficient
vehicles that may be more likely to be used by those that are less
likely to be able to upgrade their vehicle.
