Received a report setting out the problems associated with anti
social or commuter car parking on council estates and proposing
that car parking permit schemes for housing estates be established
where requested by residents. Such
schemes are to be run in the same way as Controlled Parking Zones
(CPZs). The report also outlined a
suggested method of consulting residents before any such new scheme
is implemented.
Agreed, in order to respond to resident’s demands to
introduce parking controls on Council housing estates:
- The
proposed consultation process as outlined in Appendix 1 to the
report. No scheme will be introduced
without resident consultation;
- The
proposed rules for wheel clamping as outlined in Appendix 2 to the
report;
- The
report be circulated to the Community Forums and Community Housing
Partnerships for information;
- The
charges for estate parking control areas be set at the same levels
as for CPZs;
- The
Council seeks tenders for the appointment of a contractor for wheel
clamping and vehicle removal, on a self-financing basis with
provision for profit sharing; and
- Surplus revenue is made available to the relevant Community
Housing Partnerships to decide how to spend.
