Report by Parking Manager (attached).

The Committee considered a report by the Parking Manager (circulated previously) regarding the Review of the North Devon Council (Off Street parking Places) Order 2024.

The Head of Place, Property and Regeneration highlighted the following:

·         The Off Street Parking order had been reviewed and adopted by Strategy and Resources at a meeting earlier this year.

·         The report today contained a small number of additional updates required to complete the review.

·         The amendments could be seen at section 4.1 to 4.8 of the report.

The Director of Resources and Deputy Chief Executive advised the Committee that a full review of the parking strategy was underway and once complete a report would be presented at a future meeting for Members consideration.
