This Council believes, with trade as bad as it is, that its town and district centres would not stand new car-parking charges.

 

Therefore this Council resolves to oppose new car-parking charges within these centres, on its own land by straightforward resolution, and on privately owned land by persuasion.

 

It was moved by Councillor Leadley, seconded by Councillor Kidger that this Council believes, with trade as bad as it is, that its town and district centres would not stand new car-parking charges.

 

Therefore this Council resolves to oppose new car-parking charges within these centres, on its own land by straightforward resolution, and on privately owned land by persuasion.

 

An amendment was moved by Councillor Harrison, seconded by Councillor Campbell;

 

 Replace the word “these” in the second paragraph with “district”.

 

The white paper would then read:

 

This Council believes, with trade as bad as it is, that its town and district centres would not stand new car-parking charges.

 

Therefore this Council resolves to oppose new car-parking charges within district centres, on its own land by straightforward resolution, and on privately owned land by persuasion.

 

A second amendment was moved by Councillor R Lewis, seconded by Councillor P Gruen;

 

Delete all after “This Council believes” and replace with:

 

“the availability of publicly and privately owned parking spaces is vital to the continued vibrancy of its town and district centres. Council recognises that in some instances, subject to consultation, the use of charges at Council owned sites is an appropriate measure to help improve the overall turnover of parking spaces to ensure their availability for customers of local businesses.”

 

A third amendment was moved by Councillor Lamb, seconded by Councillor Wadsworth;

 

In the first paragraph, after “new car-parking charges” insert new sentence: “New charges could also lead to displacement of parking onto residential streets.”

 

In the second paragraph, delete “these centres”. After “within”, insert: “Wetherby, Guiseley and Garforth and all other district centres”.

 

Motion will read:

 

“This Council believes, with trade as bad as it is, that its town and district centres would not stand new car-parking charges. New charges could also lead to displacement of parking onto residential streets.

 

“Therefore this Council resolves to oppose new car-parking charges within Wetherby, Guiseley and Garforth and all other district centres, on its own land by straightforward resolution, and on privately owned land by persuasion.”

 

 

The first amendment in the name of Councillor Harrison and the third amendment in the name of Councillor Lamb were declared lost the second amendment in the name of Councillor R Lewis was carried and upon being put to the vote it was
