Comments/Observations: Decision: For the Director of Transport, Environment and Planning to make a decision to align the closing time of the Coppergate Centre car park with the opening of the current footstreet hours of 7pm. After 7pm the city centre is accessible to all vehicles and parking for blue badge holders, who either use the onstreet parking bays around the city centre or the car parks including Coppergate Centre while the footstreets are closed. Other reasons for this decision include:- · Parking officers and the Coppergate shopping centre management say the car park gets little use after 7pm.
|
|
|||||||||||||||||
|
|
· Over the last several months we have seen high-levels of anti-social behavior and vandalism that occurs in the late afternoon and especially the early evening in this car park. Closing the car park at this earlier time will help to curb this, based on advice from the police, where, for example, we saw the car park having to be closed for over 2 weeks while repairs were made. · Occupancy of the car park after 6.30pm is generally low: August 148 (4.7 per day) Sept 159 (5.3 per day) Oct 151 (4.8 per day) Nov 171 (5.7 per day) Dec 257 (8.5 per day)
