]]> Tue, 20 May 2008 02:37:17 UTC 3638060 Mr brian JUTSUM [Signature #336] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/3362196?utm_medium=rss To introduce parking charges in Bedale will seriously affect trade to shops in the town. As a small buisness owner in Bedale we are looseing out to internet sales and parking charges are another nail in small shops coffins. Our Councillors are totally out of touch with reality. Do they want to close down all shops in Town Centre. Dovetail Interiors of Bedale

The officers of HDC are totally responsible for the incompetent, bordering on fraudulant handing on Council tax over the last 10 years. In their insane belief that no rises in tax would keep them in power they have been hoisted by their own petard and have to find funds to make up the shortfall......and who suffers ... the inconsiquental tax payers!!!!

I suggest impeachment!

Both myself and my family pop into Bedale regularly. We would definately reduce our visits significantly if we had to pay parking charges.There are other ways to generate income for the local council if the they set their minds to it; without penalising the local people of Bedale and its surrounding villages.

I believe the charges to be a negative approach to Hamletons' council tax capping. Introducing these charges just isn't the answer. The reasons above are soundly based and I believe accurate. Parking 'where ever you can' will be very unpopular for residents and at worse will cause obstructions. Please drop this silly idea and concentrate on finding the decision to the upgrade on the A1 which is far more important.

It's also unfair that the Council may force parking in local residential areas. When will these local servants of the community realise thay are supposed to represent the majority view, not impose their own views. We as"Rate Payers" employ them, they are our servants but they along with other councils seem to forget this.

Noone will want to visit the market if you have to pay, the discounted batteries become un-discounted if parking levies were introduced!

Other than detering shoppers to a town centre which is only just starting to become healthy after years of decline, the fact that this will deter people from using the public car parks, which are rarely full anyway, leading to parking in residential areas and on private property.
