Following the recommendation to conduct a feasibility study into extending the coastal car parking cohort in Fareham, the report sets out the findings of the feasibility study and makes recommendations.
A review of parking services was considered by the Executive on 06 December 2022. Revised hourly parking charges and an updated approach to season ticket provision were approved for the nine coastal car parks.
At the meeting, it was requested that the feasibility of extending the coastal cohort to include a further three car parks be considered.
The three car parks considered for inclusion in the coastal car park cohort are Wicor Recreation Ground, Seafield Park and Shearwater car park. Following completion of a full feasibility study (included at Appendix A to the report), it is considered that only Wicor Recreation Ground is appropriate for reclassification.
The recommendations proposed within the report support the need to generate income to continue to provide maintenance and enforcement activity across all Council car parks.
RESOLVED that the Executive agrees that:
(a) Wicor Recreation Ground car park is reclassified as a coastal car park;
(b) three solar powered pay-and-display machines be purchased and installed, along with appropriate signage, to support enforcement; and
(c) AFC Portchester be offered the opportunity to purchase up to ten transferable season tickets for use by their staff, members and visitors.
