The options, options analysis, including risk assessment and officer preferred option, were set out in the exempt report:

Councillor Hamilton-Cox proposed, seconded by Councillor Leytham:-

“(1)      That Option 2a – to negotiate a contract extension with Parksafe be approved.”

Councillors then voted:-

Resolved:

 (7 Members (Councillors Barry, Blamire, Bryning, Hamilton-Cox, Hanson, Leytham and Sands) voted in favour, 1 Member (Councillor Smith) abstained.)

(1)        That Option 2a – to negotiate a contract extension with Parksafe be approved.

Officers responsible for effecting the decision:

Head of Environmental Services

Reasons for making the decision:

The decision is consistent with the Council’s Corporate Plan 2012 – 2015 priorities of Economic Growth and Clean, Green and Safe Places and the key supporting themes of Working Together in Partnership and Managing the Council’s Resources. The ongoing provision of a high quality guaranteed security car park is also consistent with the Council’s Parking Strategy and commitment to community safety.
