The main points for Nailsworth - click below for the full report

STROUD DISTRICT COUNCIL ~ CABINET ~ 15 December 2011 ~ AGENDA ITEM NO 9

 

Report Title CAR PARKS REVIEW

 

11) Nailsworth

a) the Old Town Hall/Comrades Club car park remains as a 4 hour car park but that a limited number of long stay permits are made available.

b) the 4 hour limit on the Old Market east car park (adjacent to the Co-op) is reduced to 2 hours to improve turnover of spaces for shoppers.

 

16) a decision on introducing charges in Dursley, Nailsworth and Wotton-under-Edge is deferred for 18 months for the reasons set out in paragraphs 45 to 47 of this report.

 

Charging

45) In view of the uncertain economic situation and deteriorating employment position, (which has worsened as the review has progressed) and the potential impact on the town centres concerned, it is recommended that the Council does not implement charges in Dursley, Nailsworth and Wotton-under-Edge at the current time.

 

46) The changes recommended in this report are expected to help address some of the longstanding parking problems in these towns. However, it is clear from schemes that have already been made available to traders at a low charge in Wotton-under- Edge and Nailsworth, that additional parking is unlikely to be used whilst more convenient, free parking, with limited enforcement remains available.

 

47) Because of the need to discourage motorists who are parking long stay in short stay spaces (which are vital to a town’s ability to trade) it is, therefore, recommended that the Council reconsiders introducing charges in 18 months time,

when it will also be able to assess the impact of the changes proposed.
