Reason for Decisions:

 

The new tariff structure will support sustainable travel/parking for users.  The mobile CCTV camera van enforcement will improve road safety around the county borough Council’s Schools and deter indiscriminate parking in bus bays and other traffic regulation orders. The virtual permit scheme will enhance the customer renewal process and meets the Council’s Digital Transformation programme.

 

Implementation of Decisions:

 

The decisions will be implemented after the three day call in period.
