The decision was called in by Councillors Ralph Muncer, Martin Prescott, Joe Graziano, Steven Patmore and David Barnard.

 

RECOMMENDED TO CABINET: That the Overview and Scrutiny Committee recommends that:

 

(1)     Cabinet reconsiders the proposed on-street and off-street charging tariffs in Royston and Knebworth in light of the information received at the meeting.

 

(2)     Cabinet considers the increase in parking charges based on the updated modelling, specifically around the 4% increase in charges, where this had not been applied to all charges.

 

(3)     Cabinet notes the importance of Overview & Scrutiny in supporting Cabinet in reaching robust policy decisions and works with the Chair of the Committee to effectively facilitate this.
