That, in place of the Borough-wide Evening and Sunday Charges regime operating elsewhere, the Woodley Car Parking Trial be made permanent including the increase of the 1 hour parking charge increase in the Woodley car parks of Crockhamwell Road, Headley Road, Lytham Road East and Lytham Road West from 70p to 80p.

(Councillor Keith Baker declared a personal interest in this item)

The Executive considered a report which gave details of the outcome of the Woodley Car Parking Trial which had been operating since September 2016.

The Executive Member for Highways and Transport introduced the report and gave details of the background to the trial which arose following Woodley Town Centre Management Initiative’s (WTCMI) proposal of an alternative charging regime to the Borough-Wide Evening and Sunday Charges regime.

The report stated that analysis of parking data had demonstrated that the trial system met the wider objectives originally proposed by WTCMI and met the financial requirements set out in the Evening and Sunday Charges regime operating across the rest of the Borough.

RESOLVED: That, in place of the Borough-wide Evening and Sunday Charges regime operating elsewhere, the Woodley Car Parking Trial be made permanent including the increase of the 1 hour parking charge increase in the Woodley car parks of Crockhamwell Road, Headley Road, Lytham Road East and Lytham Road West from 70p to 80p.
