Question from Councillor Moulton to Councillor Kaur

Will the Cabinet Member commit to delivering the published 1,000 spaces Estate Parking Programme and to maintain in full the budget allocation committed to this programme?

Answer

Verbal Response provided at the meeting

“Whilst in principle we agree there is some merit in the 1000 parking space programme  we would want to review, to ensure a fair distribution across the city in areas of need, not just political gain… Ensuring proper consultation with residents not just taking away green space”.
