Report of the Superintendent of the Commons.

The Committee received the report which stated that Car Park Charges at weekends and Bank Holidays were introduced at Burnham Beeches in August 2011. The charge had remained at £2 per day since that date.

As part of its Service Based Review commitment the Division was required to

achieve an additional £20,000 income per annum from the car park at Burnham

Beeches, commencing April 2016. Benchmarking had been carried out and various options considered by the Burnham Beeches Consultation Group (BBCG). The delivery timetable was three months and to that end the two most feasible options and associated views of the BBCG are shown in the main body of this report.

Resolved – that Members:

· Approved Option 1 i.e. to raise the weekend and Bank Holiday car park

charge from £2.00 to £3.00 per day commencing April 1st 2016.

· Noted that further research will be carried out to facilitate future increases

in parking charges should they become necessary.
