RESOLVED

That the Cabinet

a) approves in principle the negotiation and securement of the continuation of the Agency Agreement between West Sussex County Council and Crawley Borough Council in relation to Civil Parking Enforcement (CPE) for a further 3 years from April 2022 to April 2025.

b) delegates the completion of all negotiations and relevant legal documentation to the Head of Community Services in consultation with the Head of Legal, Governance and HR, and appropriate Cabinet Member.

Reasons for the Recommendations

To enable the continuation of on-street parking enforcement to be carried out by Crawley Borough Council on behalf on West Sussex County Council within the borough.

Failure to renew the agency agreement would mean that the Council would be unable to carry out civil enforcement on behalf of WSCC in Crawley.
