## Description
Exeter is a dynamic and growing city with a population of over 130,000 people (which has grown by c.15% over the last 10 years). The city is the economic hub of Devon with an unemployment rate of 2.2%, 35,000 daily commuters and a travel to work area of 500,000 people.
The city is strategically located on the M5, A38 and A30 and is served by two national rail lines. Exeter is home to a burgeoning economy and major employers like the Met Office, Devon County Council and the Devon and Exeter NHS Foundation Trust. The University of Exeter, a leading Russell Group university, and Exeter College anchor the educational offer of Exeter and the Southwest. The city also provides easy access to a fantastic local environment including the countryside, moor and the coast, linked to a high-quality built environment and heritage.
As part of an extensive commercial, operational and civic portfolio, the Council owns and operates a significant car park estate which comprises a total of 31 car parks amounting to 3720 spaces. The city centre is served by 3 multi storey car parks which includes the Cathedral & Quay (C&Q) car park which is accessed directly from Western Way (A3015) directly to the south of the city centre.
The C&Q car park was constructed in the late 1980's and at the time was considered the premier city centre car park for Exeter. The car park is owned freehold by the Council and is situated in a prominent and strategically important location between Exeter Cathedral (and the prime retail district) and the historic Quayside.
Key information regarding the C&Q is set out below:
1.	Construction method - In-situ concrete frame with waffle deck slab with brick facades and stair & ventilation towers.
2.	Total no of spaces - 355 spaces
3.	No of spaces in use (excl. permit holders) - 166 spaces
4.	No of levels - 5 split-level decks
5.	Payment Method - Pay and Display
6.	Charging Period - 8am to 6pm (Monday to Sunday)
7.	Average net annual income for 2022-25 period (excl. permit holders) - £289,098 (£1741/space)
8.	Zone and Tariff - Zone 2
-	2 hours £3.40
-	3 hours £4.50
-	4 hours £5.60
-	5 hours £6.70
-	All day £11.00 (pay by cash or phone)
9.	No of Permit holders - 40 situated on ground floor
10.	C&Q is located within a conservation area, and borders the historic Roman city wall to the east of the site
The car park has fallen into a state of disrepair over the last 5 year and as a result is not fully operational with the top 2.5 decks now closed. The decision to close these decks has also led to an increase in antisocial behaviour which in turn has had a further detrimental impact on the car park's image and utilisation.
Having regard to the performance of the Council's other city centre car parks, C&Q clearly has a significant amount of latent potential. However, this potential will only be realised following the car park's refurbishment together with the implementation of an active asset management strategy which addresses its medium-term operation/manag...
