WDC STRATEGIC CAR PARK REVIEWKey Review Findings

Car Park Service Provision has not Kept Pace with Economic, Technical, Social, Demographic & Legislative Changes – Major Changes Required!o Reduced Demand for Off-Street Parking

• Increase in Legal On-Street Parking• Increase in Incorrect (previously illegal) On-Street Parking• Lack of Resources for On-Street Enforcement• Changes in Shopping/Tourist Habits

o 88% of Car Park Income Generated by 15 Car Parks!o Changes in Retail Attraction have left Waveney with Significant

Over Provision of Car Parking Spaceso Structural Repairs Required at Battery Green MSCPo Loss of Revenue from 1 Hour Free Parking Trials in Bungay and

Halesworth £12k & £42k p.a. o Advances in Automated Enforcement Methods

WDC STRATEGIC CAR PARK REVIEWGeneric Review Conclusions

• Frequent and Ongoing Future Reviews Required• Preferred Common Strategy and Policy• Enhanced Responsibility for Car Park Management

Delegated to Partnerships• Permit and Season Ticket Management• Methods of Enforcement• Security and Maintenance

• Explore Opportunities for Civil Parking Enforcement (On-Street) to be undertaken by WDC

• Evidence Required into “Benefits” of Concessionary Car Parking Schemes

WDC STRATEGIC CAR PARK REVIEWSpecific Review Conclusions

• Evaluate Automated Enforcement Systems, Principally Automatic Number Plate Recognition

• Review Options for Uncharged Car Parks• Review Options for Disposal or Re-Development of

Under-performing Charged Car Parks• Improve Road Signage – e.g. Britten Centre MSCP

from Clapham Road
