People will just not bother coming in. It isn't just the money but also the fiddling around to find change etc. Wouldn't it be better to give people the option of buying a disc for say £10 a year. Businesses could buy a supply to loan to customers/visitors.

If you start charging then these people will choose to go to other places which charge eg York, Middlesbrough and which in turn offer a greater variety of facilities. W am confident that car parking charges will have a detrimental effect on our already struggling small businesses.

The cost will fall mainly on non-Hambleton residents. This is bizarre.

Instead of raising funds from the higher income groups drivers who are most worst-off will tend to be excluded from the expensive car parks. (See consultant's report)

There is a likelihood that incoming travellers will boycott the towns altogether, or cause congestion in surrounding streets

Gardiner MBE [Signature #145] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/2929686?utm_medium=rss In a 'Regeration designated area' the effect of introducing parking charges amounts to suicide. The impact on Local business and tourism will be dramatic and will undo the efforts of the whole community to make progress and maintain growth over the last 10 years. It is the easy option for revenue raising but short sighted in the extreme and only serves to encourage further migration of shoppers to large surrounding urban areas of Teesside and York. So much too for the environment !

Too many empty shops and we need to attract visitors and keep locals shopping in Thirsk nor send them away. Business owners and their employees will have to pay to park and that is more expense for them - not the way to go at all. The cost of the setting up and survey (of which we have not seen any results is nearly £300,000 surely that money would have been better put towards the HDC shortfall.
