Decision details

To agree a permit scheme for Gedling Country Park.

That the Chief Executive in consultation with the relevant Portfolio Holder (Leader) gave approval to:
1) Implement a Car Parking Permit scheme for Gedling Country Park as set out within paragraph 2.1 of this report.
2) Review options for administering car parking permits by a third party.

To determine a fair and measured approach to permit parking at Gedling Country Park.

Not to introduce a permit scheme and to only offer the £2 daily charge - this will be received negatively by most regular users to the park.

Charge a higher amount for the permits - this would deem them too expensive and make them unaffordable for most users.

Charge a lower amount for the permits - this may make them too popular and would reduce the amount that could be reinvested into the park.

Not to explore alternative options for permit administration and continue with the paper based system, however this would become more difficult to manage if permits became popular at Gedling Country Park and would also go against our current transformation programme.
