Cheshire East Council are seeking to take possession of Remenham Car Park, at the Council Offices site on Chapel Lane, to enable them to introduce control and charging to the car park.
This would enable the Council to control parking through civil enforcement to avoid misuse, increase the available public off-street parking in this part of Wilmslow and secure an income for the Council from the asset.
At a recent meeting of the Cabinet Members for Prosperity and Environmental Services it was agreed that a notice of intention to appropriate land at the Council Offices site would be published.
The site can accommodate a minimum of 57 vehicles which, if parking all day, represents lost income from other car parks of at least £50,000 per annum.
The proposed parking charges are: 60p for up to 1 hour, £1 for up to 2 hours, £2.10 for up to 3 hours, £3.10 for up to 5 hours, £3.90 for up to 6 hours and £4.30 for up to 10 hours. The hours of operation will be Monday to Saturday between 8am and 6pm.
If any objections to the proposed appropriation are received, within the consultation period of 21 days, the objections will be referred for consideration at a future meeting of the Cabinet Member.
Attached is a plan of the site.
