North Devon Council's car park fees are high or have increased considerably

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

Some of North Devon's car parks are very expensive. Some as much as £11.60 per day. Barnstaple seems to be the worst culprit and the people who are suffering the most from these extortionate fees - are local people and workers. There is no need for such high fees
There is the Leisure Centre car park - which is much cheaper, but as we are now in winter and the dark nights are here, it is not so safe to walk there from the town centre.
The car park at Belle Meadow (near to the town centre), was only £4 per day - until May this year and then that increased to £11.60 per day too!
This just seems to be pure greed
