Liberal Democrats / Independent Opposition Group Amendment

Proposed by Councillor P M Black. Seconded by Councillor S Bennett.

This budget has seen a great deal of increases in many areas of the Council both in fees and charges.

 

We would like to put forward that the city centre car parks have no increases in their charges to encourage the use of our city centre which is a main plank in the council's regeneration agenda.

 

To assist the use of the city centre and other venues we also propose that the new Swansea App which will give Swansea residents reduced parking charges be used to also give a reduction in bus fares of 25% on targeted routes to be discussed with the bus companies and that this pilot scheme to be run for a year along with the freezing of car parking charges in the city centre.
