This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition Review car parking charges across Swale
Review the increased charges being introduced by Swale Council to stop these charges being introduced
More details
There are a large number of small business and non profit organisations that will be detrimentally affected by these charges.
An example is Faversham Swimming Club is a non profit organisation that uses the car park. With the proposed introduction of charges, our members will need to pay in the region of £80 a month to park, which will mean that they will look to move clubs and we are at risk of closing as we will not be able to sustain our oherheads.
