The following statement was issued by the chair of Sustainable Development Select Committee, Cllr Curran, yesterday, in respect of the committee meeting taking place on 11 December 2012.

'Following a conversation with Ralph Wilkinson (Head of Public Services), it has been agreed that the proposed agenda item: 'Parking Policy Review - Conclusions and Recommendations' - be held-over until the Committee's meeting on 5 February 2013. Officers feel that the complexity of the full range of policy options under consideration as part of this review, means that the financial analysis needs to be modelled carefully to ensure that assumptions are properly tested. In order to provide a robust report where all parking issues have been thoroughly considered, additional time is needed by officers.'

Papers for the 5 February 2013 meeting will be available on the Council's website from 25 January 2013.
