Fight the Conservative County Council's on-street parking charges

Liberal Democrats are…

at the forefront of the campaign against the Conservatives plans to impose on-street parking charges in our town and village centres across Surrey. These plans are totally wrong.

Lib Dem campaigners have raised a petition against the plans to show the Conservative County Council the strength of feeling across our Borough.

Lib Dems have pressed the Conservative County Council to come to a firm decision concerning whether or not the Council is to implement a Car Parking Zone (CPZ) across Staines. Many residents have complained of Conservative inaction on this.

Liberal Democrats will…

  • continue this fight against on-street parking charges in our town and village centres. Our small shops are vital to the economic health of our village and town centres.
  • A Liberal Democrat-run Spelthorne Borough Council will press the County Council to make up its mind over a CPZ Overall Parking Plan in Staines.

Scrap parking charges in our off-street small car parks

Liberal Democrats have…

Fought against the introduction of car parking charges in our small car parks. Actual revenue from Ashford multi-storey car park, Laleham park and Lammas park combined is 90% lower than the Conservatives originally budgeted for. No wonder the finances are in a mess!

Lib Dems have also supported resident petitions against the charges that have led to local problems with cars parked on the nearby roads rather than in the small car parks.

Liberal Democrats will…

Scrap the parking charges in the following car parks:

Orchard meadow car park, Lower Sunbury

  • Fordbridge Road car park, Lower Sunbury
  • Thames Street car park, Lower Sunbury
  • Ashford multi-storey car park
  • Laleham Park, Laleham Village
  • Lammas Park, Staines

These car parks bring in revenue but now business rates have to be paid on them (when they were free of charges the business rates were zero).
