Westgate car parking charges

The request was partially successful.

Dear Oxford City Council,

I have a statement from Westgate management that car parking prices are set in conjunction with Oxford City Council and reviewed with them. I would like to understand the contractual / policy / legal arrangement which governs this. Which of Westgate or the City Council has final authority and decision making powers over the setting of charges? Please provide me with relevant contractual documents or extracts from contractual documents, concerning the setting of car parking charges at the Westgate car park.

Yours faithfully,

Peter Barnett

City Council (1) and Westgate Oxford Alliance Limited Partnership acting

the setting of car parking charges is set out below. When making any
amendments to the tariff, Westgate must have regard to the city centre car
