Call to rethink parking charges in Princes Risborough
In recent years, Buckinghamshire Council has steadily increased car parking charges, extended charging hours, and scrapped free weekend parking. Local Lib Dem campaigner Andrew Cross is speaking out:
“Enough is enough! We need a new approach to parking that encourages residents and visitors while supporting our hard working local businesses, not just a way for Buckinghamshire Council to rake in more cash.”
“One hour of free parking could really ease the strain on already tight budgets, making it easier for people to shop regularly, and shop locally. Not to mention, the current flat-rate Sunday charge means that even a quick 10-minute stop to grab something for a family roast will cost you £1.70 just for the privilege of parking.”
“We need to come together to push for a parking strategy that puts our community first and helps make Princes Risborough a welcoming destination for everyone!”
