Recommendation from the meeting of Cabinet Planning and Parking Panel on 16 December 2021.
(1) The Decision Taken
RESOLVED:
(unanimous)
Cabinet agreed the inclusion in the Capital Budget in 2022/23 for the purchase of two new electric vehicles with ANPR capability, static cameras, and associated software to enhance parking enforcement across the borough.
(2) Reasons for the Decision
At its meeting on 16 December, 2021, the Cabinet Planning and Parking Panel unanimously agreed to recommend to Cabinet that the purchase of two ANPR equipped vehicles, static ANPR cameras, together with associated software, be included in the General Fund 2022/23 Capital Budget.
The introduction of such equipment would enable the Council to enforce parking restrictions more efficiently, leading to savings. In addition, particularly outside schools, the use of static cameras would improve enforcement, thereby increasing public safety.
