Report by Executive Director with responsibility for Roads and Infrastructure Services

Consideration was given to a report which provided an update on the proposed Traffic Regulation Order “Argyll and Bute Council (Off-Street Parking and Charges) (Mid Argyll, Kintyre and Islay) Order 202_” (hereafter, the “TRO”) and provided detail of the objections to the draft TRO.

Discussion took place in respect of the confusion of the terminology used within the draft TRO, particularly in relation to tariffs and charging hours and the possibility that this may cause undue concern for communities who require the use of the car parks outlined within Schedule 1 of the draft TRO for their day-to-day living. 

Decision

The Mid Argyll, Kintyre and the Islands Area Committee agreed that the draft “Argyll and Bute Council (Off-Street Parking and Charges) (Mid Argyll, Kintyre and Islay) Order 202_” TRO can be made, subject to the insertion of the words “free of charge” at Schedule 1.
