Cut the cost of parking within the city centre

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

During the cost of living we have all noticed everything going up, gas/electric, food, petrol etc. Affordable parking is lacking and what once was affordable has had a major price hike which then takes up a significant portion of your monthly wage
I want my local government to think about the negative impact the price increases in public parking have to daily commuters. Mayflower East car park in the city centre has had a daily
Price increase of £4 and a monthly
Increase of £20, how is that justifiable when the only change to the car park is the pay machines. Other than Toys R Us car park there is no where reasonably priced and
Not forgetting somewhere that is safe to park
within in the city centre and not the outer edge
