Report by Executive Director – Development and Infrastructure Services

The Committee considered a report proposing a draft Parking Policy Framework for Argyll and Bute which would provide a framework to ensure a consistent area based approach while recognising the uniqueness of some of the towns and settlements.  The report also set out proposals for reviewing the existing Traffic Regulation Orders and charging regimes following the introduction of Decriminalised Parking Enforcement in May 2014.

Decision

The Committee –

1.      Endorsed the proposed draft Policy and recommended to the Policy and Resources Committee that the draft Policy be recommended for adoption by the Council subject to the amendments agreed by the Committee being incorporated into the document.

2.      Endorsed the proposal for reviewing Traffic Regulation Orders by Area Committees.

3.      Delegated the Head of Roads and Amenity Services  to work in consultation with the Communications Manager and Policy Lead for Tourism to ensure that appropriate information in respect of coach and HGV parking be made available on the website.
