This report seeks Executive approval for night time closure of Fareham Shopping Centre multi-storey car park and the Osborn Road multi-storey car park.
Fareham Borough Council own and run two multi-storey car parks within the town centre, Osborn Road with 870 spaces and Fareham Shopping Centre with 222 spaces.
From time to time over the past few years there have been issues of anti-social behaviour and associated criminal damage in both car parks, although primarily in Osborn Road car park, and the Council has implemented measures accordingly. More recently since summer 2017, there has been a marked increase of anti-social behaviour, associated use of drugs and alcohol and overnight sleeping.
This report therefore sets out proposals for the night time closure of these town centre multi-storey car parks.
