Public Question received from John Sprackling
If I read the report correctly, it would seem that the business cases for the improvement of the north car park and the need for and the creation of a local traffic management scheme have yet to written.
May I have your assurance that these business cases will be written concurrently with the work associated with sale of south part of the site so that a comprehensive appraisal can be considered on all aspects of the issue at one time?
Can you also assure me that sensitivity analysis will be applied in any case where projected cash flows are used to support investment eg. parking receipts for further metering?
Response by the Portfolio Holder for Finance, Councillor Mike Cox
Thank you, Mr Sprackling, for the question. Yes the Directors of Commercial Operations and Planning and Transport are presently engaged in finalising a brief for the business case for the rear car park which will include consideration of [and a local traffic management plan?]. This is being done in consultation with Estates, who will deal with the disposal, to ensure all issues are addressed and that there is continuity of approach.
The Director of Commercial Operations will assess various options in the business case for the rear car park with related income projections and sensitivity analysis would be applied to the same.
