Content: To approve the implementation of car parking charges following consultation.   Reasons for recommendations The decision was made at Executive Cabinet on 23 January 2025 to implement parking charges and restrictions on Astley, Hallgate, Yarrow and Sandham Street car parks following a consultation. Now that the consultation has concluded it is proposed to implement the charges and restrictions within this report.   Other options considered and rejected 1.      Not to introduce parking charges and restrictions, this was rejected, introducing charges will create ‘churn’ allowing a greater number of visitors. 2.      Car parks are also expensive to maintain, the introduction of charging will help support the upkeep of these car parks.
