Car Parking Charges Decimating Visitor Numbers
Since Car Parking Charges were introduced in April visitor numbers have plummeted denying local people access to free quality green space As result of this all the businesses in the Park have witnessed drastic reductions in their income. The Mereside Centre which has gone from strength to strength since it opened in 2008 is now under serious threat because of effect of reduced business because so many people are unwilling or can not afford to pay to enter to what they regard as a public park. The Council are now seeking to install parking meters which will see charges increaser by up to 300% for some midweek users.
The weight of public opinion has forced Calderdale Council to look again at the impact of the charges. This will be through the Stronger and Safer Communities Panel which meets on the 1st of December. If you want to ensure the future of the facilities inn the Park and retain access for everyone then email councillor.hrivron_calderdalecouncil.gov.uk with your comments. Councillor Rivron is the chair of the scrutiny panel. For further information contact info_coffeeculturecatering.com
