· appoint Chipside Lancashire/NSL Ltd to deliver and manage the enforcement service for Wyre’s car parks, including payments and all correspondence throughout the three stage appeals process.
· appoint Chipside Lancashire/NSL Ltd to collect, count and bank cash from the council’s car park meters and from council offices.
