Decision details

To consider and, if appropriate, approve recommendations for changes to the parking arrangements in Titchfield Village Centre, including The Square, Barry’s Meadow Car Park and Titchfield Community Centre Car Park.

An assessment of the use of main car parks in Titchfield Village Centre has been carried out following the approval of proposals to carry out a review of car parking in the Village at the Executive Decision Meeting on 15 April 2013.  The proposals included recommendations to undertake local consultation with interested parties and survey work to establish the patterns of use of the main car parks and provide evidence to support bringing forward a package of measures to improve the existing parking arrangements.

This Report provides a summary of the data collection exercise carried out in May 2014 and describes the recommended options identified for implementation in the three main car parks in Titchfield Village.

RESOLVED that the Executive supports the proposal and recommendations to change the parking arrangements in Titchfield Village Centre, and approves that:

(a)    for The Square, to introduce 8 extra spaces restricted to 30-minute parking (no return within one hour) between 8am and 6pm Monday to Sunday, resulting in a total of 13 spaces with this restriction; and in addition to convert one space in the south-western corner of The Square to motor-cycle parking only;

(b)    for Barry’s Meadow Car Park, to withdraw existing parking permits for business users previously issued for this car park;

(c)    for Titchfield Community Centre Car Park, to re-arrange the internal layout of the car park to create an estimated 25 to 30 extra parking spaces; and

(d)    the effectiveness of the schemes detailed in recommendations (a) (b) and (c) be reviewed after one year.
