Concessionary Parking and provision of Traffic Stewards at Smithfield Market during the Easter Period 2019

Report of the Interim Director of Consumer Protection & Market Operations.

Minutes:

The Committee considered a report of the City Surveyor outlining a request from Smithfield Market Tenants’ Association (SMTA) for concessionary parking for 4 days and 4 nights prior to the Easter Weekend 2019.  

The Chairman reminded Members that the Committee had adopted an approach to grant concessions only where justified to address traffic concerns, or where some other economic need justified it concession.

 

The request from SMTA had not been made on the basis of traffic need and no supporting data had been presented.  The Committee were now monitoring use of the car park with regular reports, and there was no officer suggesting that this concession was necessary.

 

The Committee considered there was no justification for a concession and supported option 3 as set out in the report.

 

RESOLVED – That no concessionary parking and no traffic stewards are provided.
