Decision Type:

Key

Matter for Decision:

Executive Councillor for Transport and Community Safety is recommended to:

·      Retain the provision of free parking permits for public and voluntary sector key workers to be reviewed in March 2021

Why the decision had to be made (and any alternative options):

The decision needs to be made urgently to continue to provide key public and voluntary sector workers with a free alternative option to public transport to maintain social distancing to and from their workplace, and helps them to meet workplace needs during the critical period. The previous ROD supported the decision on free permits until the end of October 2020, but the next scrutiny committee is not until January 2021

If the decision is not made now the ability for key public and voluntary sector workers centre may not be able to continue to deliver the current level of service to the community. 

The Executive Councillor’s decision(s):

Retained the provision of free parking permits for public and voluntary sector key workers to be reviewed in March 2021
