Free parking in Sandbach and Middlewich
Sign Now
We the undersigned petition Cheshire East to stop the implementation of parking charges in the towns of Sandbach and Middlewich. The parking charges will have a detrimental impact on the towns including the traders and the charity shops, both of which are struggling because of the current economic situation. Both of the Town Councils are against this. Listen to the will of the people of the towns. The report which Cheshire East is basing the charges on was rejected by Congleton Borough Council who declared it to be flawed and misleading. In Sandbach specifically the proposal would mean charging to park on an area that is officially designated as a village green, which means it is common land.

Charging for parking in Sandbach just because it is in line with other towns is not an excuse, it is one of the reasons Sandbach is a great place to live!

If you have to pay to park in Sandbach, residents and visitors will be deterred from stopping and go to larger shopping areas or supermarkets instead. Trade for shops in Sandbach needs to be boosted especially in this economic climate - this parking charg

I believe that removal of free parking can only be detrimental to the town of Sandbach. The Council should spend it's time encouraging trade, commerce and visitors and not creating obstacles. Especially ones that will cost a lot of money to implement.

Having to pay for parking in Sandbach will kill the town and residents should not have to pay to park outside their own house.

A common is common land for the use of the people.Not just simply a means of raising revenue for local councils.

In the interest of the town? Or in the interest of the fact that Gordon Browns government has generated so much debt, that Cheshire East is now even charging it's own constituents to park in order to make a living. Distgusting.

Named "The Commons" because it is common ground and therefore should be left as free public parking

There is always somewhere to park so this is not an issue of traffic management it is purely to raise revenue!
