The Executive Committee were presented with the proposed 2021-22 Annual Business Plan and 5 Year Delivery Plan, which set out the principles for the projects identified as a priority for delivery during 2021-22 and how those are incorporated into an updated 5 year delivery plan.

Paragraph 3.1 of the report included the measures of success for the proposed spend of £180,837 that covered extensive signage and works to car parks in relation to the Pebblebed Healths.  The Committee were asked to comment if they felt those measures were adequate.

Kim Strawbridge updated the committee on the regular checks undertaken by Rangers and Mitigation Wardens in the area, but some resource was required in order to frequently record such data, and therefore this had to be proportionate to the time needed for the other day to day work of the team.  She made it clear to the Committee that the hotspots for poor parking were known, and work was actively taking place with Devon County Highways to reach solutions.  In the longer term, and with the proposed measures delivered, more data would be available through car counters to monitor numbers, as well as reduce the anti-social parking.

The Committee members would welcome any further working with Officers prior to the delivery of the resolutions below, in order to give feedback, but it was made clear that there would not be any informal meetings of the committee.
