Ie Where would local residents park, also what about parking for local workers, visitors would find the proposed fees to high, so loss of revenue in town.

The Council cannot morally impose them no matter what justification they choose to hide behind. Let's hope they realise they have a moral obligation to its constituent and not just keep thinking of car parks as "cash cows" and people as sources to be fleeced. Don't let them sell you out! Good luck.

Having lived in a flat very near to this car park in years gone by and I still have many friends from that time who rely on this car park to park their vehicles after work etc. Most of them are on low incomes, as I was also at the time, and this added cost to them is very very unfair as it has always been assumed that this was a free car park and may well have affected their choice about living in the area in the beginning.
Its just not fair to them. Steve HJ.

Stourport needs to encourage people into the town centre, not drive them away......Council you need a re-think!
