ePetition details

Suspend all car park charges in Cheshire East.

We the undersigned petition the council to suspend all car parking charges to encourage shoppers to come into our town centres. Shops are re-opening after the three month long lock down and many will find it difficult to survive if trade is not encouraged. If, in the future, the town centres are surviving better, then the Borough should only introduce car parking charges if ALL towns are treated the same. Currently NINE towns have NEVER had car parking charges, namely, Sandbach,Alsager,Middelwich, Handforth,Prestbury,Poynton, Bollington,Disley and Holmes Chapel. Petition organised by 'Putting Crewe First' Leader, Councillor Brian Silvester.

Crewe and Nantwich pay the highest parking fees in the Borough but in NINE other towns in Cheshire East there have been no parking charges since the Council was formed in 2009. In Sandbach,Alsager,
Middelwich,Handforth, Prestbury,Poynton,Bollington,Disley and Holmes Chapel there has NEVER been any car parking charges.
Now is the time to end it.
Town centres will have a really desperate struggle to survive after the lock down.

The Council should announce free parking across the Borough to encourage shoppers to come into the town centres.

If in the future, the town centres are surviving better, then the Borough should only introduce car parking charges if ALL towns are treated the same.

It is not right that the people of Crewe and Nantwich have to pay for the upkeep etc. of the car parks where there are no charges.
