caused. Equally, being a publicly owned and run car park, the users of the car park would benefit from the 10 minute grace period to look at the signs and understand the distance and terrain between the car park and the Fistral Beach or Town Centre.

4.0 What has happened as a result of the Feedback

Following the feedback received, this report was written and both the Town Clerk and Chief Executive along with Cllr Hannan as Chair of the Environment and Facilities Committee considered the feedback and agreed to approve the sealing of the Newquay Town Council (Off-street Parking Places) Order 2022 effective from 01 April 2022.

Both individuals also agreed and approved resources to ensure the Council commissions new signage and digital media in order to provide more information on the proximity the newly named "South Fistral Car Park" is in relation to Fistral Beach and the Town Centre.

The Environment and Facilities Committee will also be tasked with approving further research to understand whether it is possible to install necessary infrastructure to provide advanced space availability signage along the Gannel Link road or Trevemper Road. The purpose of this signage would be to help indicate whether there is available parking in South Fistral Car Park or whether it is full on a live basis – which would help mitigate any potential increase in queuing or congestion to that car park. This is primarily as a result of the reduction in tariff, meaning that car park is now one of the cheapest public car parks in the Town.
