Duty to co-operate? Not specified

Based on flawed 2019 Parking Strategy:
-Doesn't acknowledge contribution to carbon reduction that of reduced car trips into town
-Assumption for modal shift of 10% of trips by end of plan period without evidence
-No analysis of Princes Street car park spaces used by train commuters, providing little economic benefit
-Assumption that temporary car parks will disappear without evidence
-Temporary and long stay car parks should be differentiated
-No analysis of why park and ride schemes aren't viable
-Contribution towards air quality not quantified
Suspicion that fee income wins over policy. Until proper analysis, no multi-storey car parks site allocated.
