That the Committee notes the requirement for fewer parking spaces in Brunswick Street and agrees to collaborate with the Communities, Housing and Environment Committee to consider a new housing development on the site of the existing car park and adjoining land and to re-provide a new smaller car park to meet the existing car parking space needs in the area (target of 33 spaces).
Minutes:
The Parking Services Manager presented his report.
The Committee discussed concerns regarding the impact of the closure of the Sittingbourne Road Park and Ride site may have on parking availability in Maidstone town centre and the further impact of disposing of parking spaces on this site.
The Committee noted that 50% of the site was currently used on a regular basis and provision for this number of spaces could be provided for in the plans for the site once it was disposed of.
RESOLVED: That the Committee notes the requirement for fewer parking spaces in Brunswick Street and agrees to collaborate with the Communities, Housing and Environment Committee to consider a new housing development on the site of the existing car park and adjoining land and to re-provide a new smaller car park to meet the existing car parking space needs in the area (target of 33 spaces).
