Parking Enforcement

Decision Maker: Executive

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

To inform the Executive that Hampshire County Council will be terminating the Agency Agreement for Decriminalised Parking Enforcement from 01 April 2020 in Fareham and to seek approval to undertake a review of the Parking Service.

 

On 09 February 2018, Hampshire County Council formally gave Fareham notice that they are terminating the Agency Agreement for Decriminalised Parking Enforcement with Fareham Borough Council.  Despite that letter giving notice of termination of the agreement, it also indicated that Hampshire County Council were keen to negotiate a revised agreement with the Council with the aim of developing an agreement that would better reflect Hampshire County Council’s current position and to provide a more consistent approach to on street enforcement county wide.  Discussions at officer level continued in 2018 with a view to the progression of a revised agreement.  However, a further letter was received in early January 2019, from Hampshire County Council which explained that as Fareham had handed back Traffic Management from the Council in 2017, the intention in respect of Fareham was to pass on-street enforcement from Fareham Borough Council to a specialist provider on behalf of Hampshire County Council as the Highway Authority.  To understand the implications of Hampshire County Council’s plans and how then to best deliver an off-street parking service only and address the potential financial deficit, a fundamental review of the parking service is considered necessary. 

Decision:

RESOLVED that the Executive:

 

(a)  notes the intention of Hampshire County Council in respect of the future provision of On-street parking services in Fareham;

 

(b)  in view of the potential financial implications for the Council, agrees that a review of off-street parking be undertaken with the scope of the review as detailed in paragraph 13 of the Executive Briefing Paper; and

 

(c)  that Fareham Borough Council makes a formal representation to Hampshire County Council to disagree with their decision to not give the Council the opportunity to re-negotiate an Agency Agreement for the provision of on-street parking enforcement and to potentially bring in a specialist provider for the provision of on-street parking enforcement in Fareham as from 01 April 2020.
