Town Centre Car Park Charges

Decision Maker: Bracknell Town Centre Regeneration Committee

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

The fee structure for The Avenue Car Park sets the maximum level of charge that can be applied in any of the Council’s town centre car parks. This report recommends revised charges mainly for season ticket holders from 1 April 2018.

Decision:

The season ticket charges for the Council car parks be varied as set out in Annexes 1 and 2 of the Director of Environment, Culture and Communities report, effective from 1 April 2018.

Reasons for the decision:

The Council needs to ensure that its charges continue to cover costs mindful of the overall impact they can have on the economic vitality of the local economy.

Alternative options considered:

The Council could determine not to increase season ticket charges or make amendments to charges at surface car parks.  However, the Council needs to ensure it can continue to recover its costs, it has made substantial investment in its town centre car parks/parking offer over recent years as part of the regeneration scheme, and the retail offer is now significantly better than previously.
