Charges will push out parking problems

I am writing in response to comments made by Cllr David Cannon in last week’s edition of the Advertiser and please note that my comments relate only to our car park in Hurley.

As most people will be aware, the residents of Hurley (including myself) have a very real problem with parking in our lovely riverside village. The issue will not go away and many schemes have been tried to solve the problem as the RBWM officer dealing with highways well knows.

To turn Hurley Car Park into a chargeable facility will only exacerbate our problems even more, especially during weekdays when visitors will endeavour free parking in the High Street or adjacent lanes on the roadside or grass verges etc.
