Free 30 minute parking for Ramsgate commercial centre to support local businesses
Remove existing yellow lines around the central shopping area of Ramsgate bordered by and including Addington Street, West Cliff Road/Queen Street/King Street, Brunswick Street and the seafront.
Why is this important?
Since the opening of Westwood Cross and the insertion of yellow lines all around the commercial centre of Ramsgate, residents have seen many businesses close down and struggle.
Recently, new businesses have been opening and long-standing businesses have persevered.
Unfortunately, double yellow lines throughout the commercial centre of Ramsgate mean that many shoppers prefer to use the big chains who can offer parking causing a loss to local businesses.
If the yellow lines were replaced by free 30-minute parking, people would have the incentive to whizz round Ramsgate's small businesses and ensure the longterm sustainability of our precious town centre with its diverse businesses run by local people.
