Proposed Parking Charges for Cardiff
Discussion
I've just received this email from The Point (gig venue in Cardiff Bay) regarding the above:
.......Sorry to get political for a moment, but we need to draw your attention to something called Controlled Parking Zones, which are being suggested for many areas in Cardiff, including the area around us at THE POINT. Currently, if you come to any shows at our venue, you can pretty much park for free. Cardiff Council intend to change that. They want to introduce parking meters or bays all around our venue, which means you'd have to pay AT LEAST £3 to park.. even on Saturdays and Sundays, and to 10pm at night!!! And that's just the price they're suggesting to begin with. A similar scheme in Camden in London began with low priced permits and meters - residents permits now cost close to £100! It is almost inevitable that the same would happen in Cardiff.
HOWEVER, businesses and residents in Cardiff are protesting against these plans. To cut to the chase, an online petition has just been set up where you can register your vote against these plans. Please go to www.no2cpz.com and click on the link to sign the petition if you don't want to have to pay these charges. And then spread the word around. With enough people we can get these plans dropped and get back to business as usual.......
If anyone would like to include their signature on the online petition, I'm sure the Council will have to think twice.
