To approve the principle for the disposal of all or part of the public car park at Broad Street, Leominster.

Cabinet received a report to approve the principle for the disposal of all or part of the public car park at Broad Street, Leominster.

In reply to a member in attendance, the director for economy communities and corporate said that the purpose of the report had been phrased in the way that it had in order to allow the council flexibility as to which part of the car park it would dispose of.  Property services were mindful of the need to protect long-stay lorry parking in Leominster.

A Group Leader welcomed the level of consultation that had been undertaken locally and asked that there should be transparency going forward on any decisions in order to help allay public concern in the town.

Resolved

That:

(a)       disposal of all or part of the site is approved in principle; and;

(b)       the programme of activity set out at paragraph 16 of this report be implemented to a further decision on a specific proposal.
