Following clarification that the out of Town Centre parking bays provided for free parking for the first ninety minutes, the Committee considered the report and without debate RESOLVED:

1. To recommend to the Cabinet Member for the Environment that:

a.    The proposals to covert the existing Disc Parking Bays to Pay and Display parking bays in Minster Way, Highfield Crescent and Upminster Road, as shown on the plan (ref: Upminster Bridge – Disc to P&D) be implemented as advertised;

b.    The effect of the scheme be monitored.

2. The estimated cost of this scheme as set in the report was £7000 which would be funded from the capital allocation and the remaining £1500 would be met from the 2015/16 Minor Parking Schemes budget.
