Issue - meetings

Purpose.

To provide an update on the first phase of the On-Street Residential Charge point Scheme

RECOMMENDED that the Cabinet Member for Traffic & Transportation note the report.

The report was noted.

Hayley Chivers introduced the report and in response to questions, clarified the following points:

If a charge bay is not marked, anyone can park in front of the charge point.  Both line marking and signage are required to make the electric vehicle parking bay enforceable.

The monthly usage figures are monitored and if a bay is not being used, the council will follow it up to find out the reason.  If the resident who requested it has since moved away or no longer needs it, the team will try to find out if someone else nearby would benefit from using it.  If this is not successful, the markings will be removed but the charge point will remain as there is a requirement to retain them for three years.

DECISION

The Cabinet Member for Traffic & Transportation noted the report.
