Following the long-planned devolution of the Atlantic Road Car Park and Play Area from Cornwall Council to Newquay Town Council, which concluded in 2021; Newquay Town Council is required to implement a Parking Order which enables Cornwall Council's Enforcement Officers to continue to enforce the car parking restrictions.
A number of other parking sites run by the Town Council have been included in the proposed order, as this provides a consistent and well-established framework for robust management and enforcement of those spaces and the long-standing informal usage terms, which the Town Council has been unable to enforce to date.
A public consultation was launched on draft orders, which Newquay Town Council has developed with Cornwall Council and this report provides details of the results of that consultation and the decisions made.
This report is a review of the feedback on the proposed Newquay Town Council (Off-Street Parking Places) Order 2022, to help provide details behind the decisions taken on the making of a new parking order which establishes how the council operates its car parks across the Town. The new Order, along with this report and any appendix, is published on our website ( www.newquay.gov.uk/parking).
This report has been produced by the Town Clerk and Chief Executive of Newquay Town Council to analyse the results of the consultation survey for the proposed Newquay Town Council (Off-Street Parking Places) Order 2022 as well as confirm the decision and recommendations.
The survey was designed to help determine the new parking Order and how the council operates its car parks across the Town following devolution of Atlantic Road Car Park from Cornwall Council to the Town Council. Existing car parks the Town Council own/control are being included to ensure enforcement of long-standing informal use restrictions (Gannel Car Park) and the authorised users (Mount Wise Centre) are also included in the proposed order.
Thank you to all those who took the time to respond and make comments as these have been extremely useful in helping the Town council to determine the details of the new car parking order.
The consultation ran for 25 days from 03 March 2022 to 28 March 2022. The Council received 3 email responses with a number of comments and questions from responders. No hard-copy responses were received. Given the nature of the order being similar to the previous Cornwall Council order, this low response rate is not unexpected. We are proposing to reduce the tariffs charged at the Atlantic Road Car Park as well as providing a better enforcement framework for the existing informal usage restrictions for the Gannel Car Park and the Mount Wise Centre Car Park. The minimal changes which see a reduction in cost for using the Atlantic Road Car Park
