(b)       the Assistant Director Technical Services be authorised to take all operational decisions necessary to implement the above enhancements.

 

Alternative options considered:

1.         The council could decide to not approve the works and not to invest into their off-street car parks at this time. This is not recommended, as detailed within this report, it fails to ensure that demand for parking in the county is satisfied and growth is maintained.

 

2.         The council could also seek only to approve expenditure on some car parks but not others. This is not recommended as these works are seeking to improve car parks generally in the areas that have been identified and these have been considered in conjunction with each other.
