That East Herts New Homes Bonus funding is used to subsidise ‘pay and display’ charges in the Council’s Buntingford and Sawbridgeworth car parks in 2016/17.

The Executive Member for Economic Development submitted a report seeking approval for the continuation of an internal subsidy to the Council’s Buntingford and Sawbridgeworth car parks.

The Executive recalled that, it had agreed to subsidise ‘pay and display’ charges in its Buntingford and Sawbridgeworth car parks in 2015/16, funded from the Council’s New Homes Bonus Priority Fund.  This had been deemed appropriate on the basis that a two year trial including reduced ‘pay and display’ tariffs had begun in Hertford, Bishop’s Stortford and Ware in September 2014.

The Executive approved the continued subsidy as now detailed.

RESOLVED - that East Herts New Homes Bonus funding is used to subsidise ‘pay and display’ charges in the Council’s Buntingford and Sawbridgeworth car parks in 2016/17.
