Decision details
Use of Nelson Street car park for St James car club
Decision Maker: Officer Decisions - Economy and Enviroment
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
The car club has historically found
operational difficulties with finding a parking space within the
residential parking area. This often results in the car being left
by a user in a different place to which it was collected, then
communication is needed to the next user to inform them where it is
parked.
In order to resolve this a dedicated parking space will now be
allocated in Nelson Street off street car park, which is owned by
the council.
A charge is usually applied to ‘rent’ a space at this
location (currently £480 per year), however due to there
being many different users in the scheme applying this charge would
be problematic. The only reasonable way would be to charge the car
club for the space which would be cost prohibitive for the
scheme.
The council actively supports car clubs in the county, and has
provided a parking space for the scheme in Kington. Therefore in
waiving the small charge that would have applied with this decision
the council can continue to support this car club scheme.
