79 Hastings Off-Street Parking Infrastructure Improvements PDF 130 KB
(Cabinet Decision)
Minutes:
The Assistant Director, Environment and Place, submitted a report which requested capital funding to carry out essential upgrades to the council’s off street car parking infrastructure.
Thirty five of the council’s existing pay and display machines were a model which is no longer manufactured. Repairing these machines is difficult due to lack of spare parts. The report proposed upgrading twenty two pay and display machines and the replacement of the tariff boards in council-owned car parks. These works would improve customer service by enabling greater use of cashless payment methods. The council would also benefit from reduced costs in the administration and payment processes associated with its off street parking services. The capital costs of works in the Pelham Place and Rock a Nore car parks would be shared with the Foreshore Trust.
RESOLVED that the request for £70,000 capital funding is approved
The reason for this decision was:
The infrastructure improvements set out in the report are an essential element of the council’s digital transformation and customer first programmes. They will facilitate even greater use of cashless payment options, which will help drive channel shift in line with the council’s customer first and digital by design principles, as well as generating efficiency savings as we move from partly paper based parking administration systems to wholly digital systems. The costs associated with them are amongst those which we can offset against income generated from our off street parking service.
