I propose that this council considers either freezing the parking charge for 2 hours at £1.20, or reducing it to £1 in our town centre car parks (Great Torrington/Holsworthy/Bideford) to encourage people to park for longer and spend more time in our town centres

I propose that we do not change the parking charges in Bideford, Great Torrington and Holsworthy car parks as proposed in the recent Community and Resources committee, and that we continue to use the parking charges for those towns which were in place previous to that decision. 

Coming out of covid we should be supporting our town centres, instead of giving residents a reason to drive to the larger chain stores who supply free parking.

The Chair to move:

“That the public be excluded from the remainder of the meeting because of the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined in Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972”

Items which may be taken in the absence of the public and press on the grounds that exempt information may be disclosed.
