Stop the new proposed parking charges in Ashton Under Lyne Town Centre Petition: Signature List Feed http://www.gopetition.com/signatures/stop-the-new-proposed-parking-charges-in-ashton-under-lyne-town-centre.html Online petition signatures en-us Fri, 17 Apr 2026 06:46 UTC GoPetition RSS Feed Generator Copyright 2026 GoPetition Mr Terry Gallacher [Signature #158] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/20011060?utm_medium=rss Tue, 24 May 2016 06:42:24 UTC 20011060 Mr. Julian Hawksworth [Signature #157] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/19949431?utm_medium=rss The issue of parking costs and related restrictions, seems to be part of a wider national problem. It can be a deciding factor, in the success or failure of some small businesses; as parking costs impact upon their level of trade. Of course, it can be even more of a problem; for communities with a dependence upon tourism. Let us not forget, that the small businesses of today, deserve a fair opportunity; to become the large businesses of tomorrow.

They will cripple small businesses in the area and leave many of us without the ability to make a living wage for ourselves.

The entire proposition makes me reluctant to re-invest money in my business for fear that I won't see that money come back to me through custom.

We need to encourage people to spend their money in Ashton to ensure that the market, already a shadow of its former self, not only survives but draws people to the town. Adding £2 to the cost of any trip into the town centre is a disincentive - there are many other shopping options and the town centre will not be compete.
