This report asks the Committee to consider any representations received in relation to fees and charges for the car parking charges in Epsom & Ewell and to decide to either to continue, modify, or overturn the relevant Order.

The Committee considered the representations made to the making of the Traffic Order to vary parking charges and decided to continue with the making of the relevant Order, the effect of which would be revoke the previous Off Street Parking Places Order on the date that the New Order came into effect and to update and amend the Council’s current Off Street Parking Places Order as detailed in Annexe 1 to the report.

The Committee considered the representations made to the making of the Traffic Order to vary parking charges. Twenty representations had been received by the deadline and one following the deadline of 4.00pm on 19 December.

Concern was expressed over the introduction of evening charges in Ewell Village, in particular in relation to Bourne Hall: all the representations received       had been in relation to Bourne Hall and the view was expressed that in view of the income it was likely to generate, its introduction could be counter- productive.  However, on the Chairman’s casting vote, it was decided to continue with the making of the relevant Order, the effect of which would be revoke the previous Off Street Parking Places Order on the date that the New Order came into effect and to update and amend the Council’s current Off Street Parking Places Order as detailed in Annexe 1 to the report.
