The current parking arrangements on Stamford Street Central and the surrounding roads provides significant business to the businesses in this area as well as the whole town.
By introducing new parking charges in this area will reduce the amount of business that these businesses will receive as well as affecting the whole town. The Old Town businesses have already been struggling since the work on the market has been taking place.
In addition, as the only method of payment will be an e-ticket and residents will need to pay using their mobile telephone, this will also turn people away.
Following the recent reduction of parking charges in the Council car parks in Ashton Town Centre to 50 pence for one hour, £1 for three hours and £2 all day has increased the amount of people parking and the majority of car parks are full compared to previously.
We, the undersigned, call on Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council to abolish the proposed parking charges for the roads around Stamford Street Central in Ashton-Under-Lyne Town Centre and leave the current parking arrangements of 1 Hour free parking Monday to Saturday from 8.00 am until 6.00 pm.
