Parking. A discussion took place about what would be achieved by implementing the disc parking element of the Off-Street Parking Places Order (OSPPO). Members concluded that it was clear the businesses did not feel this would benefit them in anyway and as that had been the main reason for looking to implement disc parking, they concluded that this should be removed. RESOLVED that the OSPPO for College Square and the Plain be implemented as soon as possible. That the proposed disc parking element contained within the OSPPO be removed and that this area (Bridge Road and from 59 to 81 High Street) includes enforcement of inappropriate parking only. Cllr Canavan would contact our Solicitor to make the appropriate amendments to the order.

None declared.

6/24/11/25 OFF STREET PARKING PLACES ORDER (OSPPO)

Subject to agreement of the revised order the Town Council would commence the consultation requirements which include issuing a public notice, displaying a copy of the notice on the affected highway, delivery of notices to affected premises. RESOLVED that the Parking Committee recommend approval of the revised OSPPO and map to the Town Council. The Town Council agree to obtain quotes for the new signage and line marking requirements and that the proposed lamp posts identified within the presentation be agreed. The

Clerk to request an updated version of the Enforcement Agreement to be in place between the Town Council and North Yorkshire Council based on the new proposed OSPPO. If the OSPPO is approved the aim would be to go live with the enforcement from the 1 April 2026.
