Car parking in Weymouth and Portland
This campaign has ended.
Please do not charge for parking in small car parks serving community recreation facilities in Weymouth and Portland.
Why is this important?
It is now well understood that many of us are not taking enough exercise. A variety of organisations including national government, local government, the Health Service etc.. are all trying to get us to take more exercise and one really good, low cost way of achieving this is to visit local recreational facilities such as parks and the many exercise classes run in small community halls. Two such examples in Weymouth are the small car parks serving the park and community facilities in Southill and the park on Radipole Park Drive. Charging for parking in these car parks would deter people from using the facilities to exercise and this does not make sense on any level!
