Decision details

Suspension of parking charges for a temporary period to support the high streets and encourage customers back into the car parks.

The Leader AGREED to:

Suspend parking charges across Buckinghamshire Council owned/managed car parks located in town and village centres for a period of one month commencing 12 April 2021 to support High Street recovery.

In a major emergency, the Leader may take any immediate urgent decision required without consultation. The current Covid-19 pandemic qualifies as a major emergency, as it is an event that causes or threatens death or injury and disruption to the community on such a scale that the effects cannot be dealt with by the emergency services, local authorities and other organisations as part of their normal, day to day activities.
