Background: As the Director Highways and Transport, pursuant to the third introductory paragraph of the Scheme of Sub-Delegation dated 27th January 2025, I am authorised under Wiltshire Council’s Constitution to make the above decision on behalf of and in consultation with Parvis Khansari, Corporate Director Place. The permit parking area adjacent the City Hall is part of a Wiltshire Council chargeable public car park. In the financial year 2017, the decision was made to cease the allocation of free parking in chargeable car parks, with town councils funding the provision ever since, if they deem this as a local priority. The City Hall have requested to be allowed to use the permit area to load and unload vehicles supporting events.
