Issue - meetings

Consideration was given to a report which recommended the introduction of charges for the Hinckley Hub car park. It was reported that the proposals were to retain the current free parking (having obtained a ticket) for two hours, with a charge of £2 for the third hour, with a maximum stay of 3 hours.

Concern was expressed that when ticket machines were not working people may receive fixed penalty notices if not displaying a ticket. In response members were assured that on arrival at a car park, the attendant checks the machine before issuing any tickets.

It was moved by Councillor Bray, seconded by Councillor Crooks and

RESOLVED –

(i)            The introduction of pay and display charges at the Hinckley Hub car park be agreed;

(ii)           The amendment of the scale of fees and charges and the Parking Places Order be approved.
