REDUCE CAR PARKING FEES IN NEWTON ABBOT
Reduce the cost of car parking in Newton Abbot car parks
Why is this important?
The cost of parking for the day in the town centre is now £5.50. I believe that is extortionate. Alienating the town and businesses within the town because people are deciding to travel a little bit further to save money.
It’s not even free on Sundays and bank holiday anymore - the cost is £1.
I believe it should be a couple of pounds for all day. It is discouraging people from choosing Newton Abbot at a shopping destination, costing working staff within the town a small fortune weekly to just be able to attend their workplace. Elderly people will not pay it. It’s extortionate.
