Decision - Parking Scheme Update

This report will update Committee on results of the recent light to full parking scheme consultation.

1) That Committee agrees that the following parking zones remain light-touch parking schemes: - Zones L (Wish Park area), P (Hove Park area), S (Hanover & Elm Grove area), U (Coombe Road area) and W (West Hove area). 2) Committee notes that remaining with the light-touch parking schemes creates a £0.3m pressure in the Parking Services budget in 23/24 which rolls over for future years. This is addressed in para 7.3 below. 3) That Committee having taken account of all duly made representations and comments agree that the following Traffic Regulation Orders are approved to enable the proposals within Kew Street to proceed to the implementation stage: Kew Street - Brighton & Hove Various Controlled Parking Zones Consolidation Order 2018 Amendment Order No.* 202* (TRO-55a-2023).

The Committee agreed that parking Zones L, P, S, U and W should remain light-touch schemes after 82% of consultation respondents supported retaining them. It also approved the Traffic Regulation Order for Kew Street, allowing the proposed parking changes to proceed to implementation, despite creating a £0.3m pressure in the Parking Services budget.
