Welshpool Town CouncilFC280126/11.1 - Car Parking Trial
This was a decision taken on 28/01/2026 by Full Council numbered WTCM482.
Status: Completed
Vote Type: Standard
Proposer: Cllr David France
Seconder: Cllr Dr Ben Gwalchmai
Decision:
The Town Clerk summarised the report including the survey results and explained that three financial options were available, which included:
- Option 1 - add the cost to the budget and increase the precept to cover the amount
- Option 2 - amend the budget to move funds from Special Projects to cover the cost
- Option 3 - to utilise an underspend in the current year, earmark the cost and utilise next year without a impact on the precept.
An idea was suggested regarding liaising with other towns in relation to this scheme and co-ordinating action to Powys CC. Members agreed that Option 3 above would be the best solution to enable the trial to take place.
RESOLVED
To instruct the Town Clerk to write to other towns in Powys about our free parking scheme and gather support to ask Powys to implement a similar scheme.
