Minutes:

·       The Chair suggested that a Task & Finish Group be established to progress discussions around parking issues on the Downs.

·       Members noted the issues around finances which made it difficult to enforce any parking regulations on the Downs.

·       There was a suggestion around putting stickers on people’s windows who have parked badly.

·       It was noted that the Downs Act had powers to make byelaws which could introduce enforcement by Fixed Penalty Notices which would generate income, but this would need to be funded initially.
