A joined up approach to car parking in the West End?

Dundee City Council is going to reintroduce car parking charges in the car parks of the West End on 27 September.  I am clear that there should not be charges for West End car parks without a residents car parking scheme in the West End.  A joined up approach to car parking is needed and this is nothing like it.

I am hugely disappointed that car parking charges are being reimposed in the West End.  Charging for car parks in the West End should be part of a joined-up policy towards car parking in the area.  Three and a half years ago the council agreed to consult on a residents' car parking scheme for the West End and other areas around the city centre.  I accept that there has been a pandemic which
has prevented some work being done, I would point out that it has not prevented the reintroduction of car parking spaces.

I want to know what is stopping action being taken to deliver of a council policy three and half years after it was passed.  West End residents cannot buy a pass that would allow them to use these car parks where charges are being reintroduced, residents in other parts of the city can buy such a pass.  This is unfair.  It could cost a local resident up to £500 per year.  In Broughty Ferry an annual permit costs £84, in Menzieshill it costs £20 and in the City Centre it is £120 per year and this includes use of secure car parks

The West End needs a joined-up approach to car parking, one which is fair to local residents.  I have demanded to know when action will be taken to implement the policy of the council.
