To consider the report of the Director of Neighbourhood Services and Communities, (copy enclosed).

The Council considered the report of the Director of Neighbourhood Services and Communities seeking Members’ approval to extend the current operational period of the South Essex Parking Partnership (SEPP) Joint Committee agreement by a further year to 31 March 2028 to align with the current Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) timetable. It was noted that since 2011 the SEPP had delivered on-street parking enforcement across the District on behalf of Essex County Council (ECC) and there was no financial implication for Maldon District Council.

The Director of Neighbourhood Services and Communities presented the report and highlighted how an extension to the current SEPP agreement would ensure service continuity and legal enforcement of the parking restrictions throughout the Partnership areas for the financial year 2027 / 28. Thereafter the function would transfer and operation from 1 April 2028 under the new unitary authorities due to LGR in Essex.

The Chairperson moved the recommendation set out in the report. This was duly seconded and agreed.

RESOLVED that the extension until 31 March 2028 to the existing South Essex Parking Partnership Joint Committee agreement be agreed.
