61/18 TO DISCUSS SOLUTIONS TO PARKING IN MARKET PLACE
CPM, a UK car park management company have put together a package they can offer. Week 1 they initially write to businesses introducing the scheme, week 2 install metal signs advising the public and week 3 commence the scheme. A five minute grace system will be given. CPM wardens will then offer a warning notice to any vehicle not adhering to restrictions. If a second offence, a £60 parking ticket will be issued. All self-funding from fines. There is no contractual period and we can give one months’ notice to have scheme removed.
Strong discussions took place and it was agreed the maximum period would be 3 hours, assisting with beauty treatments in the village. It was also suggested that the area affronting the wall be for a maximum of 1 hour. The restriction to be during the hours of 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. Some disagreements within Council but the problem of parking has been discussed at great length for some time. Coun Baldwin was concerned that this action could alienate residents and businesses. As Coun Almond had used the problems with parking in the Market Place in her election campaign, she proposed the 1 hour and 3 hours restrictions. Seconded Coun Marshall. Show of hands was taken, 8 in favour, 1 against and 1 abstention.
62/18 .IDEA
Last meeting approved amendment to Articles of Association to be audit exempt. Quotes for future audits £850.
Coun Hawkins reminded the Parish Council that the concept of IDEA when originated in 2003 was for the Committee, Parish and District Councils to work together for a better environment. Residents need re-educating what IDEA is about and that more volunteers are required to carry on the works in the park and event organizing. Many residents are of the opinion that Parish Council runs the park and not volunteers. Volunteers are reducing and Parish Council has to be aware that they may have to assist financially in the future.
