(1) Motion by Councillor Mrs A Reynolds
It was moved and seconded that:-
Thousands of visitors arrive in Mablethorpe over the holiday period.
There are only a couple of hundred street parking places, which being free, holiday makers fill.
This is the period when The Lifeboat Crew get most call outs.
But some live in terraced properties and must park on the road outside their home.
From 1st May when the traffic bylaws come into force this means a 1 hour on and 1 hour off parking enforcement.
During April - Sept they may have to park several streets away. The additional 2 minutes dash to their car and added travel time may increase the response time by 2-3 minutes.
This may not seem like a great delay in the general scale of things to us but to someone exhausted, hypothermic and struggling to survive in the sea, it can make all the difference between life and death.
Therefore I would like to propose that these voluntary men and women, who are part of the emergency services - after all, you do have to dial 999 to set them into operation – are given Parking Permit Waivers.
That this Council grants Parking Permit Waivers to Voluntary Lifeboat Crews.
That this matter be referred to the Highways and Transport Scrutiny Committee and the Portfolio Holder to look into further.
Upon being put to the vote, the amendment was supported. This then became the substantive motion, and upon being put to the vote, the motion was carried and it was
That this matter be referred to the Highways and Transport Scrutiny
Committee and the Portfolio Holder for Highways, Transport and IT.
The Chairman advised that there would be one concurrent debate for the following two motions. At the end of the debate, there would be a vote on each of the two motions.
(2) Motion by Councillor M J Hill OBE
The people of this country have elected a majority Conservative Government and thereby decisively accepted the argument that the national finances need to be balanced during this parliament.
It is safe to assume that the Chancellor of the Exchequer will continue with the Government's plan to achieve that and spending will reduce accordingly.
Local government, including Lincolnshire, has been at the forefront of delivering savings and LCC has so far achieved £140 million with a potential further £120 million in the offing.
This Council supports the principle of eliminating the national deficit in this parliament.
We accept that local government, including Lincolnshire, should continue to contribute to that ambition by finding additional savings.
However, we believe that the burden should be fairly spread across the public sector and not unduly target local government.
Further local government savings should take account of the differentials in Government financial support to councils and the unfair funding formula should be reformed as soon as possible.
