A SOLUTION IN SIGHT
On the 5th of December 2022, the JPC will, if appropriate, resolve to place the management of the Croft Car Park in the hands of a third-party, car parking specialist.
This will be the culmination of many years of investigations, consultancy bids, competitive estimates, and debate.
Undoubtedly, finding a solution to suit all has been the stumbling block, and it was therefore correct to re-examine the exact terms of the lease and its covenants to determine how such management must be executed in support of a ‘SHOPPERS CAR PARK’.
The JPC has no expertise in car park management and to continue with any plans for them to do so, may have placed the JPC at risk.
The JPC sincerely hopes that the formula now in place will ensure a safe and efficient future for the car park and its users, whilst providing a very useful income stream destined to be used on other infrastructure projects in town.
THE OUTCOME WILL BE IN THE PUBLISHED MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF THE 5TH NEXT
