The Council have been asked to support a Covid vaccination hub with discounted parking for staff and volunteers who are involved in delivering the vaccination programme.

Following consideration, it was resolved that the Committee:

(1)      Delegated to the Head of Operational Services to implement a parking permit scheme at Bourne Hall for Fitznells Manor Surgery, as set out in paragraph 2.6 of this report.

The Committee received a report requesting its support for a Covid vaccination hub with discounted parking for staff and volunteers who are involved in delivering the vaccination programme.

The Committee was addressed by the Chairman of the Environment and Safe Communities Committee, Councillor Neil Dallen, who spoke in support of the recommendations.

The following matters were raised by the Committee:

a)            Number of proposed parking spaces: Members raised concerns regarding the number of proposed car-parking spaces. It was noted that only 10 spaces were to be allocated due to the minimal length of time the scheme was to be passed for.

b)           Users: It was noted that the car-parking spaces would likely be used by users of Bourne Hall, those coming for their Covid19 vaccinations and parents dropping their children off at the local school.

Following consideration, it was resolved with 7 Members voting for, 1 abstention and the Chairman not voting that the Committee:

(1)      Delegated to the Head of Operational Services to implement a parking permit scheme at Bourne Hall for Fitznells Manor Surgery, as set out in paragraph 2.6 of this report.
